BC Anywhere local Sell / make custom wheel barrels / lips?

Long story short got some 3 peice rims (re-amemiya) looking to get custom outer barrels (Lips)

Kodiak racing used to make custom ones but not anymore.

Everywhere else ive called only does widening (cutting the rim and welding) which i dont want to do and charge $400 per rim

Anybody know of anywhere in canada that does this ? Ive been looking for days with no luck.. really dont feel like shipping my rims to the states ...

Have you tried Keizer? I just met with them at the IMIS Show in Indy and they are decent people. They make custom wheels for a bunch of applications and should be able to help.

they dont even have pricing on their site lol.

Im probably going to end up going with Tunershop.com (They have a form to fill out there for exact measurements for custom lips and barrels)

Or wheelflip.com since ppl say lots of good things about them.

There use to be a place in Calgary some 15 or so years ago Simply called WHEELS , They boasted that they could repair or make any size wheel . It was just off crowfoot trail in the industrial can't really remember . sorry that is about all I can tell you . Gerald m.
