Default Wheel widening shops

Anyone know of wheel widening shops in Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater area or in the state of FL they can refer me to? Thanks.

From my understanding Transwheel use to sub-contract their work out to Glenn's Wheel Polishing. Not 100% on that, just something I heard. Either way, I believe both company does it.

I looked into this last month. I couldn't find anyone local. Glenn's doesn't do it.

Glenn's has never widened wheels. He polishes and straightens, but not widen. Glenn worked for Transwheel for some time. Transwheel is the only place in Tampa area that MIGHT do it.
