I had 9" widened Fuchs and found out later they weren't round and had cracked at the seam (I was a naive buyer). The wheel rebuilders wouldn't touch them, too much liability.

I doubt you will find anyone who widens Magnesium wheels.
I have repaired cracks in mag wheels before and it is very difficult to achieve success just with small crack repairs. |
