Hey guys,
does anyone know any shops around LA/San Gabriel Valley area that can rebarrel/re-lip wheels? I'm not very familiar on which to get done... rebarrel or re-lip? I'm trying to get some VSXX to be wider, lower offsets, and bigger lip. If possible to get Work barrels/lips... that's a plus... if not, then forged barrel/lips is good too. I just want to make sure that it's good quality. Also, can you guys also tell me how much the price is. Thanks.

 

im doing the same thing to my current wheels, its not too hard if you have the right tools. id buy the lips for VRMotoring, and then do the install yourself at home.

Hmm I'd prefer a professional to do it. It's because I need inner and outter for the 3 piece wheels.

Thanks, i'll probably check this place out!

 

I recently had new barrels put in on my VS-XX. New barrels directly from WORK are around $370 each. And it's like $150 to have a shop rebarrel them, per wheel.

 

^damn you got raped bro. Its usually just $50-70 per wheel

 

Yeah I know, but they were the only shop around me that were dealers for Work.

 

so you spent over 1g to relip only 2 lips and waited several months to order lips?

i spent only 350 for 2 lips (175 each) plus 5 bucks for sillicon and all it took only 3 days lol.

 

lol, jonathan ^, im going to call you today bro! got my wheels two days ago, and want to do this asap already. same number right?


b lam: i was going to reffer you to e46fanatics, thats who ill be getting my lips from, and i believe he lives in san gabriel as well

 

Yeah from what his profile says... I live in the same city lol. Thanks Chris. I'm still learning about rebarreling wheels... Like the math to it haha.

 

yea call me after 6pm, i wont get off work til 5 and should be home around 6

 

does anyone have an idea on how much it would cost to get 2 new 10.5 barrels for my SF-Challenge? my current set-up is 8.5 and 9.5, and i want a more aggressive look.

 

you cant, sf challenges are two piece, only works with 3 piece wheels, unless you get a complete new barrel, but pricey and not worth it IMO

 

You can always buy my set of sf challenges and sell yours lol

 

Don Henley on 350z said he can change the offsets on 2 piece wheels..
