not a great image but enough to give you an idea... personally, i wouldn't go near them!!!

hey i remember doing this to get around the rules in my old rally cars the book said that the car must run stock rims but never mentioned any thing about modifying them !lol as long as you had a really good welder do you up and use a perfectly rolled steel hoop of the same thickness it worked fine cut my rims on a lathe added a 5 inch center to sprite rims for some very nice wide tires, my only worry was bearing ware and too much stress on the axles, tie rods ect.
