3 pcs Work wheel question

[GT240R]

I recently finished restoring and polishing some Work Rezax II wheels and wanted to know if I need to seal them with some kind of silicon? There seems to be a light layer of silicon around the three different sections in the middle of the wheel, but not sure. When I had recieved them they had already been taken apart.

Yes, they need to be sealed. Metal and bolts alone will not provide an airtight seal.

^What he said!

And to go off topic........ Post more info like sized and such on those wheels! They are pretty sweet!

[Quail]

Nice! What colour car are they going on?

[s13dan]

Sick wheels... show some pics of final product.

[Saskacer]

Nice wheels man. And what the hell is Dr. Thunder, lol must be a texas thing.

[midnight zenki]

Paging Azndoc.. paging Azndoc....doctor?

He would know or Aspec Logan. I too am thinking of blowing apart my equips and have always wondered what kind of sealant to use when reassambeling. I also remember from other threads that it is recommended to replace the bolts when reassembeling don't know how true that is or how many people do it as those bolts are a little pricey from Work.

[A Spec Products]

Yeah its a sandwich type 3 piece wheel

You would typically want to use an industrial silicone along the center of the barrel

Keep in mind typically you would want to have a professional disassemble / reassemble your wheels if you are not familiar

[JVDSKYRINE]

I did mine just go to crappy tire and get some industrial strength silicone and put it on the inside edge and make sure all the bolts are tight. And make sure you clean off all the old silicone other whise they won't seal properly.

[SoSideways]

^ They don't have Can Tire in Texas lol

[xdumbxguyx]

silicone 2 works make sure u use enough dont be shy or ur going to have to do it again

[miggypq21]

Damn dude they came out rad as hell haha, you still gonna come over tonight to test fit?

I say you get some tires and let me rock them haha

Sizes where 18x11 +6 and 18X12.5 +16 IIRC, sick ass wheels.

[JVDSKYRINE]

^ They don't have Can Tire in Texas lol


Oh shit hahaa ummm he has the exact same wheels as a guy on a local forum i thought it was him...Oh well go to your local hardware store then :keke:

[xDsKuba]

diet dr thunder eh? nice wheels =D

[Magnum]

Dow Corning 832 Multi Surface Adhesive Sealant is good for sealing 3 peice wheels.

Thanks for the info and I will try to find a good silcone and reseal these monsters. Thanks for the comments too. I bought these about 6 months back for a wide body I am doing on my S14 and they looked like shit when I recieved them. They had a lot of rash were missing wheel bolts, so I bought new bolts and nuts and had a body shop paint the wheel plates white and clear them. Then started the long process of sanding and polishing the lips. I was able to take the majority of the rash out, but couldn't take them all out. I will be using some JUN flares for the wide body and the color of the car is currently Ultra Violet Metalic (purplish with touch of blue). I will post more pics later when I have more time to work on my car. I am not sure of the offset but were close to this:

Front: 18x11 +6
Rear: 18X12.5 +16 IIRC

They are about 3mm from the sturt and stick out about 2.25 to 2.5 both in front and back.

[dynamicck]

dayam!

that lip is so weak!!!

lol very nice, i love the rezax's

[GT240R]

Nice! What colour car are they going on?

I will be mounting them on my S14.

[goldollar]

[ZilviaKid]

[GT240R]

which centercaps are you using?

The wheels did not come with the center caps, I have yet to order them.

[honeybadger]

That Purple S14 is very good looking !!

[DUDEIDONTHAVEA240]

That's going to look good when you finish. It looks real aggressive. BTW great job on the wheels.

[scweet1]

Loving that color! Cannot wait to see it finished.

[ZX88]

damn those wheels are baller. now lower your shit asap.

[ZilviaKid]

so over fenders im guessing?

[GT240R]

Thanks, some people that obviously don't know their shit, or don't have the balls to try and fit these wheels told me that they wouldn't fit. No spacers no rubing or anything.

18X11+6 FRONT

18X13+16 REAR

I think I will try the fender flares that I have first if not then overs it is.

[240lookis]

wheels looks awesome, car does as well. but flares on a kouki?

[kid270r]

those bitches are massive yo!!! pictures dont do shit of justice.. they look way better in person..

[garryr32gtst]

sexy wheels mate. i've just bought a set for my r32 in exactly the same sizes. can't wait to get them on the car.

[GT240R]

wheels looks awesome, car does as well. but flares on a kouki?

Thanks, I see the over fenders all the time and want to try something different. I was also thinking of the BN kit, but thats alot of money, and I have the RB25 swap i'm working on. I already have the flares and if I don't like them i'll probably sell them and get over fenders.

[ZX88]

dont put flares just roll and pull those fenders till they are paper thin

[kid270r]

paper thin roll looks ugly.. get my origin's!!! lol

[jeeper_x]

no matter how hard you roll and pulled those 13s will never fit....

overfenders are prob. your best choice...

[240lookis]

ya, those 13s are simply too big to put on stock fenders without ridiculous and unwanted camber.

if you can pull of flares on a kouki, more props to you!

[jeeper_x]

wow, you're only 16 and much smarter than ZX88....

[GT240R]

no matter how hard you roll and pulled those 13s will never fit....

overfenders are prob. your best choice...

No one said that I was going to try and pull/roll fenders, that is impossible at this point. I am going to try the raceon fender flares that I have. Then if I don't like them i'll go with over fenders.

[musashin]

Did you put a clearcoat on the lips? If not, say goodbye to that mirror polish in about a week.

BTW, those things are crazy hot and are gonna look amazing with that color combination. I think flares on a kouki is a gamble, but it could definitely come out amazing if done just right.

[miggypq21]

Lookin hella mexifitment haha good luck when you try to lower your car lol.

You saw how the lip was hugging the collar on my coilovers in the front with that 11j.

I say you sell me that 11j and call it a day haha.

What's up fool? Sounds good to me, 1,000.00 for the front pair. 18X11+6

ZX88 gave you a dumb advice and i was just telling him it was impossible...

i mean the 16 years old that posted under me even know that it was impossible...

overfenders are prob. your best choice...

that was my advice to you....

[GT240R]

Cool. I have seen some very decent S14's with flares and wanted to try it, but if I don't like the out come overs it is. I will post pics up this weekend when i'm done.

[kid270r]

yo! when did you plan to try the fenders afterall?

[GT240R]

I have started test fiting them and I think they look good. It's a different look than the over fenders. They will be painted this coming week.

[dorkjoey240]

damn looking nice.

[ZilviaKid]

cant wait to see it slammed. im just polishing mine right now. gonna paint the centers flat black.

[scweet1]

What silicon did you end up using?? I am in the process of powder coating my equips. Sweet flares btw.

[GT240R]

I ended up using GE's Silicone II made for high heat aluminum, stainless, and other metals.
