'08 Audi A5 S-line
cast aluminum would not be safe after welding because the overall material strength of the wheel would be inconsistent. Plus last I checked cast aluminum was always a 1 piece wheel so you cant take it apart and change lips. Leaving you with no safe option to make the wheel wider.
steel wheels get welded wider typically... 2pc/3pc forged you're talking about changing lips/barrels for extra width.
Hope that helps Wes!
