Wheel badges/aftermarket wheels
MercyLogic:
There are a few companies I've seen online who can make wheels wider. www.weldcraftwheels.com does them.

Budget: One of the most used forum words which has no meaning. I like the stick-on center cap emblems.

They are located in the Ukraine so the shipping takes 25+ days so be patient.
Their website. http://3dcarstickers.com/en/category/lamborghini/ $8.99 (Carbon Fiber look) plus $5 postage.
The stickers are approx. 1/16" thick and made of pliable soft acrylic with adhesive back.

Thanks for passing this along! This isn't a bad option at all for those on a budget. Those OEM wheel prices are ridiculous. I would probably want these widened if possible but I wonder if that could be done right/safe? I guess the offset would be really out of whack if they were widened. Looks like they have the same bolt pattern too. Not that that is a deal breaker.

Also he is using a BMW M5 style wheel which I checked on eBay and they are still $500-600. Even with paying $500 to widen the rear wheels, your still looking at $1000-1100 for replica wheels and badges. Who's ordering a set? ::beers

I was searching youtube and found a great idea for wheel badges. The stickers they sell are ok but IMO they aren't so great. In the video the guys says he will glue them on, but I'm sure there is a better alternative.
