FD Volk GT-U wheel Dilemma. thoughts?
Okay so i purchased my Volk GT-U's 18x9 and 18x10 about 5 years ago, 4 days after putting wheels on car the motor blows. 5 years later (present time) I am finally getting car back on road but i have decided to go widebody. BUT i cannot find anyone to Rebarrel these wheels to bring them to 18x13 sizing in rear. So i dont know if anyone CAN even rebarrel these and who could do it. Or should ust sell the wheels that are 4 days street old. And even looking for wheels in those sizing seems to be next to impossible to find, figured id ask you guys your thoughts as to what i should do and if you knew anyone that rebarrels. Thanks!!

for a 18x13 you are looking at welding the wheels and adding a strip in the middle of the wheel to widen them. There are a few companies that do this with aluminum wheels. Volk GTUs did not originally come in 18x13...the widest they came in was 18x11. Volk wheels are not like BBS RS's; as far as I am aware of no one makes wide aftermarket barrels or lips for them.
You might want to give Memory Fab or RB wheels a ring too. They might have a creative solution.
