        Stockton would be a good choice for widening. You can get 'em at
(209)464-7771 or (800)-395-WHEEL. Based on the latest info I have from
them a 15 x 8 inch wheel using a customer's center (they'd pop your wheel
center into a new rim......no out-of-balance problems due to a welded in
spacer) for $80. Nice thing is you can spec your own backspacing from
4.0" to 6.5" in half inch increments (on a 8" wheel, which, remember, is
actually 8" bead to bead and approx. 9" overall). They may also have plain
ole smoothie wheels in the Dak bolt pattern. These would run ya $90 for
raw steel or silver painted, $105 for raw center, chrome outer, or $110 for
full chrome.

        I know for sure that Wheels of Steel has smoothies to fit the Dak. I
don't have pricing for them though. You can reach 'em at (800) 638-3992.

Hope this helps, Bill.
