Call or shoot Vr wheels an email and see if they have any Meisters they can build for you/ or some ssr sp1's(look close to Meisters). I think is your best bet- I don't think you want to get into re- barreling wheels

 

Thanks man!

 

yeah unless you've done it yourself before i wouldn't try to do it now...getting everything correct to piece it back together and actually installing the pieces correctly isn't all that easy

 

Dang I thought it would be. Thanks for letting me know.

 

It is actually very simple to disassemble and reassemble 3 piece wheels.

 

Really? I'd really like an answer. There's a sweet, local deal I may jump on.

 

- Unbolt face.
- Clean silicon (razor then steel wool)
- Replace barrel
- Torque wheels in star pattern (specific torque will have to be researched, volks are usually 45 ft-lbs)
- Scuff mating surface of barrels
- Clean with alcohol
- Apply silicon
- Let dry for 24 hours
- Mount tire

 

^ That's the process for 3 piece wheels where the seam between barrels has not been welded. Or has had the weld already broken.

Beaguilars question is about the 3 piece wheels that are welded, and I can say you'd be there forever trying to scrape a weld off with a razor and some steel wool.

 

Oh no Toretto I think they aren't welded! Forgot to tell you man. Vendor on here told me the 3 piece wheels don't come welded (thumbs up)!

 

In that case, what WhosUrBuddiee said is pretty much it.

It's a very straightforward process

 

Also, that depends which 3 piece wheel. That vendor can't just go out and say all 3 piece wheels aren't welded, because that article with the pictures direct from the Work factory show them welding 3 piece meisters.

 

So my question would be what size barrel I'd need and from where? Specs of wheels are 12 +29 with a 121 mm lip. Want it as close to 11+0 as possible.

 

I asked THMotorsports specifically about work meister s1 3p.

 

Only the 2 piece meisters are welded. Per work website they are modular, so not welded. Many people have refinished 3 piece meisters.

 

I'm not exactly new to wheels so I'm aware of this. But...

"Work Wheel doesn’t put glue, they actually weld their 3 piece wheels together. When the wheel is damaged being it a 3 piece, they have machines to break the welds. This isnt the same type of weld they do on their 2 piece builds but its done to ensure a solid wheel."
