I've got 2 aluminum wheels that look like those used on Cobra's. They were made by Compomotive. (UK company) Two of the wheels are 9.5" wide and I'd like 2.5" inches taken out of the backspace. so they would end 7". Found a company in BC Canada but I'm Leary to ship across the border at this time. Any company names would be helpful. Prefer to stay west of Denver. Movin/on
ET's website says that they do it. https://www.etmags.com/index.cfm/page/ptype=results/category_id=22/mode=cat/cat22.htm
My Buddy used to cut them and I’d weld them up . The correct way is to cut a key in them for strength and alignment . There was a lot of hours labor involved . Getting the correct filler rod as in same color for weld was tough also .
Wow. I didn't know that they are still in business. Too bad, doesn't look like they still make plain old aluminum slots.
It's a shame that Willamette Wheel in Portland isn't still around. I did several sets of wheels with them in the 60s at $25 per wheel!
Eric Vaughn's narrowed several pairs of aluminum wheels for me. Flawless job. I've heard he's retired but can't confirm that?
Try Rice Machine Works in Cedar City, Utah. Talk to Mike Rice 435-586-8401. They do some amazing aluminum welding. Larry

You Tube has several vids on how to it & how it's properly done. The guys that fool with this all say NOT all Aluminum wheels are a good candidate for narrowing, something about the front half of the wheel needs to be true from the beginning before cutting.............for what it worth!
