Re-lipping rims

So I am looking into re-lipping my Wald Duchatelets. What other brand would fit this rims? IE. Work lips or weds lips etc. Or would I have to re-drill these? or where can I get custom lips that would fit for sure that wont cost too much. I would like a 4" and 5" lips or somewhere around that size. Is this complete bolt on? Thanks!

Pretty sure your Walds are welded two piece. If so, widening would involve cutting and welding or new lips and barrels.

Some of them are some of them aren't. Pull a tire off and look at where the flanges meet. They're either be welded or siliconed shut. However if they have silicone on them double check to see they aren't welded under the silicone.
