Possible to Just Buy Drums?

I have a set of Ro_Ja wheels... basically Volks (both by Rays Eng.)

So, is it possible to just by the drum in order to get a different offset? They are 2 piece so essentially it's just bolting the spokes to the new drum and instantly larger lip?

Is it possible to just order the drum from Ro_Ja, Volk, etc.?

you mean the barrels? usually if it is a multipiece rim it is possible to just buy the barrels as long as they are still in production. just have to contact an authorized dealer or the manufacturer.

Barrels! Yes! Damn I sat for at least 23.79 seconds thinking of the right word before I said, "Screw it"!

My rim isn't in production, but the Rays Gram Lights 57 Pro I think still are? So that should work right?

I dont think the 57 pro's are multipiece if im not mistaken. by multipiece I mean has the small rivets/screws around the edge, which if you remove, the rim can be dismantled. some multipiece wheels are welded, so they cannot be dismantled unless someone can cut the welds and reweld. usually in the case of 3-piece, the face as well as the front and back barrels will come apart.

Ah, yes... you're correct. But the 57F Pro's DO have the rivets:

Also... I've had these wheels since '05, so I'm not an expert on wheels by any means... I've never really paid much attention to others. But these barrels look to be the same as found as the Ro_Ja's, and the 57F's...

GT-C's

And... GT-AV's

And... GT-V's

The GT-S's are a maaaaybe.

I'm thinking all this is correct because I thought that was the point was to make 1 barrel and then several faces (spokes) so the cost of production will be low.
