I was wondering if anyone knows of a place where i can have the stock 14inch rims of my civic si widened an inch and a half or two. I have heard of people doing this to maintain the stock look while gaining performance, but i can not fine anywhere that does this.

What car/motor do you have? I take it that you just have the 14" stock steelies correct? You just want a heavier rim so you dont spin the tires so much? Please specify what you are trying to do, so I and others can help.

I know some wheel shops like Wheel Collision Center does stuff like that. They are in Bath, PA. Look in the back of Car & Driver magazine and Motor Trend couple of wheel companies that should be able to do that.
I have an autocross friend who had his wheels cut and added 1" to the width.
