Does anyone know if Work Gnosis GS4 wheels are two piece welded? I might be trading my Volk GT-S' for them + money on top. My barrels are Chromed, and his are polished. I wanted to Chrome them at a later date (not a fan of polish), but I'm being told I can't chrome them because they're not 2 piece, but 2 piece welded. Any advice?

His specs:
GS4's Polished lip / Matte Silver face (i think that's how to describe it)
9.5 F +4 Hankook V12s 225/35/19 200 miles old
10.5 R +4 Hankook V12s 245/35/19 200 miles old

Mine:
GT - S Chromed Barrels / Gold Face
9.5 F +17 General GMAXXs 245/35/19 500 miles old
10.5 R +18 General GMAXXs 275/35/19 1500 miles old

His wheels are also 200 miles old. Mine are a couple years, but excellent condition.

 

Can't u chrome the whole wheel then paint the face??

 

Chrome the whole wheel then spray a translucent finish on the face... BAM! Unique Baller wheels.

 

They are two piece welded, cannot be taken apart. I know what wheels you are talking about... They can't be chromed but high polished, which can look like chrome- most work wheels are done this way. Can take a little more upkeep but are easier to work with curb rash etc than chrome.

 

Or what they said^^^ lol

 

thats a much more expensive route...no? i'd want some color on the faces. not into all chrome lol

 

Translucent lets you have some nice color but gives it a very nice pop.

 

If you want to completely redo the wheel, it may be more than what you want to deal with. That's why with the Work welded wheels, they are usually finished before assembly... If you are bothered with the lip as I know the original owner of these is, get lip stripped and sanded to a mirror polish kind of like this

 

i think all rims in the gnosis line is 2 piece welded...
