Why dont they just make them 2 piece?? Welding the 3 piece wheels kinda defeats the purpose of having a 3 piece wheel.. I thought the reason they didnt weld them was so a lip could be replaced if it gets damaged and not having to replace the whole wheel??

 

True that.

 

I'm sure there is a reason they do it....but i think it makes it a real pain for those who wanna swap out faces and barrels

 

The only reason i can think is that they dont want people taking them apart for safety reasons..

 

yeah and since they are pretty meticulous on quality control that would be understandable

 

Yeah they dont want people rebuilding wheels, then if they fall apart people try to say its works fault and its their faces that people will see in the pics..

 

Makes sense.

 

haha yeah they don't wanna turn into companies like vossen

 

I have a question about my front fitment. My setup is stance coils, 20x9 +15 front, 225/35/20 tire. When im pulling into a parking lot/driveway/ or just a bump in a turn im rubbing. I raised the car up just a little bit to help it out some, but I feel that my setup isn't very aggressive and Im surprised its rubbing. I have 15mm spacers I wanted to put on, but rubbing at +15 already would be a nightmare with the spacers on at +0. Front fenders are not rolled or anything. Just looking for some help on how I can get my front to not rub without and with the spacers.

Ive read that taking the screws out of the liner will help. I tried that, and it didn't work, I was literally hitting the actual inside of the fender, do I really need a roll/pull on the front at +15? Pics below.

This pic was pulling into a driveway that isn't even all that steep.


This is the height to where im at now that I raised it about 1/4 inch.


any help is appreciated. Thanks.

 

^Flattening the fenders might help

 

yeah man....everyone who is lowered around 2 in and even semi-aggressive specs will rub when they turn the wheel all the way and go up a driveway or hit a dip....for the most part there is no way to help it without getting smaller tires or putting in more camber

 

That is the only thing I can think off. Usually barrels are pretty universal. Many people refinishing may use a lower quality barrel to save money, then failure would give Work a bad name.

 

yeah i know alot of guys here in cali do that....use the real work faces and hardware but at least the inners or outers are not authentic Work barrels

 

When I refinished my Asanti wheels, they wanted 400 dollars per lip from manufacture. I bought all 4 brand new 40 hole universal lips off the interwebz for 350.

 

Ok so can anyone give me a rough estimate on how much it would be to split 3p welded wheels and how much I could get inner barrels for? I know it may be much. Wheels are work meisters.
