Try Wheel Techniques in san jose/santa clara area. I know they do rim repairs so they might be able to do something like this. Keep us posted...I'd like to add a deep dish to my 99+ Saleen rims

I called around today... So far ive got a hold of all of the places yall recommended me to:

Stockton wheels: Says "only steel"

Wheel techniques: Says "too much liabilty"

Team 3: Says: "Sure, depends on thickness"

Weld craft: Says: "Yup, ship em"

Am goin to take them to Team 3 first since their across the bay, if i get another strike from em am shipping my rims to weld craft. Right on yall Oh all "345" DR tires on are nation wide back order for weeks+ .
