	I was talking yesterday to a friend who's into Chevys.  He says
it's not uncommon to take a stock rim to a shop where they cut it and put
it back together with a band welded in 'round the middle to make the rim
wider.  Bizarre.  He says it only costs something like $20 each, if you
can believe it!

	I would hope that they've got special jigs and saws set up to do
this accurately.
