Custom Rims

[KISIN]

I wouldnt try it the cut and shut way. Just isnt a safe method.

I have 2 face GTN's love the look but wanted more lip. Have custom outer rims being made up now. Then there off to a workshop to bolt them together and balance. Will put up a result once its done. going from a 9.5 to a 12' with about 4.5" of lip.

Cheers,

If you dont mind me asking, how much is it going to cost per wheel ?

Can this be done with ROH Modenas ???

its perfectly normal to do this to a 2 or 3 peice rim

alot of people say its unsafe etc etc and at the same time these guys have no idea and are just talking shit

simmons build wheels this way and they are far from dodgy

i did my AMEs by replacing the outer rims on the rear making them 10.5" wide with a -5 offset

they are perfect

ozwheel Australia are the guys to do the job

it costs a torque wrench and 20 minutes.

sorry, but im actually not talking shit, and im sure if u had any idea urself ud realise that 2pce wheels mean the disk and the barrel are separate pieces, this means the barrel/rim is ONE PIECE, so without a cut and shut job it is impossible to change the width. but i guess if u knew this u probably wouldnt have talked about simmons who actually specialise in 3pce wheels where the barrel is actually 2 pieces.

AFAIK simmons do not cut and shut, they create a rim section just like every other wheel manufacturer does.

i know the guy who does the simmons wheels yea he makes new inners and outers from scratch

i also know a supplier who makes barrels for two peice rims(inner and outer is one peice so all you need is to drop your centre in

some 3 peice wheels also have a weld joining the inner and outer together not just bolts (ie: AMEs)

i know what im talking about because ive gone through all the shit to get my AMEs widened

[nisskid]

ur AME's which are 3 piece, yes, not 2pce.

[Dahtone Racing]

i know my AMEs are 3 piece i stripped them before i sent them to the wheel repairer

as i said earlier i have a supplier for both two and one piece dishes

so there is no need to cut and shut

FFS, remove barrel from 2 pc wheel and throw it in the bin then bolt on wider barrel onto exhisting centre. thus making them wider.

No cutting and welding required. Not that difficult a concept to grasp

haha then ur not actually widening the rim section, ur getting a new one all together. but yeh i understand what ur saying.

i can see the replacement of the outer rim on 2/3 pce wheels... but with an lmgt.... fughedduboutit!

[Mr Jollwah]

LMGT2 are 2pc...

You're getting mixed up with LMGT4 which are 1 pc.

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

lmgt TWO huh... kinda jumped the gun a bit there

there's a local place i go to in sydney that can have it done if anyone is interested. theyve told me that the best results are to buy some old ford/holden trims that fit the PCD of the car and they'd chop off the old outer half, replace with a new, wider (more than often) outer rim and they can lso readjust the centre piece to alter the offsets as well. they reckon its pretty safe with those rims but probs would really recommend going stupidly overboard trying to bring a 16x6 rim to upgrade to a 16x10 size with -20 offset (yep ive asked them and they wont do it for me hahha)

^^they are probably ford steelies. steel = ok
