Your steelies do not have a barrel seperate from the center. I don't think that you will be able to rebarrel them. Wheels like CCWs that bolt together can have the barrel replaced.
Diamond Racing should have wheels priced cheaper than the work would cost.

Diamond Racing wheels are only good for dirt-track race cars or boat trailers.



They seriously have a disclaimer on their website that their wheels are not safe to use for street driving.

Diamond Racing will make you DOT approved street wheels if you just ask/pay a little more. i personally would run any of them, if they can stand up to real racing, they can do my around town duties. Of course i drive an old car and i dont ride hard or fast very often. I figure it like when you buy a dinky little intake and the box says "off-road use only" it just not dot approved. So just get the DOT approved if your scared! Back to the original topic, i also am interested in rebarraled wheels, but havn't found a place to it either. If you find somewhere def, let us know.

They are sliced with a bandsaw, waterjet, or CNC machine then widened with a "spacer". This is common practice in custom motorcycle building. I've called one of the largest wheel repair companies in Atlanta and they referred me to a shop in Texas that does it. This was for a aluminum wheel though.

Nearly every after-market product has that disclaimer. Any non-DOT approved product is federally illegal for use on public roads. Find me the DOT stamp on a set of Volk wheels...

Here's a quote I posted on another forum regarding someone saying the same thing about a specific brand of coil-overs:

Each part would have to be DOT certified for them to not have that disclaimer. We're talking compliant to DOT & NHTSA standards in accordance to the Vehicle Safety Act...a TON of money in lab testing. I'd say 99.9% of aftermarket automotive part manufacturers state that disclaimer somewhere.

Parts like brakes, lights, wipers, tires, seatbelts, helmets, etc. all have to be additionally compliant with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards and Regulations (FMVSS) and Office of Vehicle Safety Compliance (OVSC) as well. Meaning more tests and more money.

I wouldn't be surprised if it cost $50k-100k+ for them to put a DOT stamp on each coil-over model.

To answer the OP's question, I haven't found a local place that will do it: Widening wheels?

Widening is different from rebarreling.

if you just widen the steelies, the offsets will not be what you are going for, youll just make the wheel stick farther inside the car, and not come outwards like you want. there are a couple sets for sale on hondatech right now.
