The shop he mentions does excellent work. A friend of mine had his wheels narrowed by the shop, and they were a work of art.
Problem with "widening" a wheel is that the extra width has to be added in the back of the wheel, creating an excessive backspace that requires spacers, or possibly modifications to the LCA's, etc., and leaves you with the outside of the wheel looking just as shallow as it did before you had them widened. Read the article linked above - he expalins it all.
