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

^ 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.

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.

"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."
