are the barrels welded together? If so, then no. You can get new barrels for 3 piece wheels. It's pretty easy to take a multipiece wheel apart. If you can find barrels for them, then you could do it yourself, and wouldn't have to waste your $ paying a shop.

welding aluminum...not a good idea like everyone else said. but steelies yea go for it. my buddy on the vortex forums got some steelies cut and welded with more steel. cost him like $150-$200 a rim...vdub dudes are crazy bout their wheels and gettin lower and lower even when their allready touchin the dam ground with their oil pans lol.
