Lips for Blitz 03's

[Drifting-pedobear]

quick question:

can/ where do i buy larger lips for blitz 03's?


i found a set local that i like, but have to leave for work ATM, so i cant do any good though searching, so if anyone has had experience or knows of a place to buy them, id really appreciate it.

they are a 3pc and CAN be disassembled into 3 pieces.

thanks again, and i will search myself when i get home from work at 2am, if no one has pointed me in the right direction.

The lip is pretty big on them in the first place. You want them to look like -9000 or something?

[Drifting-pedobear]

no, they are +22 and +32.
im not stock bodied.

so i need them to be wider. -9000 eh? cool.

[thefro526]

Go to a custom wheel shop and tell them what you want to do and have them make the parts to do it.

Or, sell your set and them buy a set in awesome sizes.

Either way it's going to be expensive.

[5t341tH]

lips arent cheap man. i got a company that sells aftermarket lips for 40bolt holes.
for my 19s, they cost about 350 a lip

[atutt]

^I need lips with 40 bolt holes in a reverse mount 17"

Can they do it? Can you tell me who does it?

[BOXCAR]

Where si the pic for the local sale so we can see the lip?

[99maxgtr]

yeah lips aren't that cheap. depending on how much your wheels are they may be as much as the wheels them self.
i contacted work to see how much it would be to get some lips for my 18's and they are 300 a piece.
my pair is worth probably around 1100-1200 and cost 1600 new. so it's worth it to me.
just food for thought.

The problem is that they no longer make Blitz 03's.

[lflkajfj12123]

No the problem is OP doesn't realize that all Blitz 03's of the same disc type use the same lip. They change the offset according the thickness of the back where it mates to the hub.

I.E. 18x10 +44 03's have the same size lip as 18x10+22.

[wh0aitznic0]

^Maybe that's why I've never seen 03's with HUGE lips.

I was waiting for you to drop the bomb on this, lol.

ahhh i see. thanks for that.
so, i gues im SOL on this one.
so that means they use diffrent faces yea? and have false lips... KK.
thats a bummer.

[articdragon192]

False lips? It is still a 3 piece wheel. Only that offset is changed through swapping faces instead of swapping barrels. Cuts down on cost. Cheaper to cast faces with different offsets than to forge barrels with different width.

[Drifting-pedobear]

i think its called false lip: when the spoke appears to stick out further, then attaches to the actuall lip resessed of itself.

and yes, that makes sense.

[JDM Sil4ty]

there is a green s14 zenki from WA. i think the member's name is ICEDSOLE or something. he has a staggered set of blitz 03's .. his rear lip is >4 inches i think ..

They probably don't even do that. They probably only had one casting. A casting with the lowest offset. Then just milled it down.

I think he bent one of the lips on the rears. If anyone knows of a pair he wants to buy some.

[JVD]

Yes, lips are the same on all. 17 x 9 +15 and 18 x 10 +45 had samesies. +45 just had a really thin mounting pad.

They are also WELDED...not really a true 3 piece that just splits apart when you unbolt them.

ive seen him. you know if they are 17s or 18s?

i see.

you sure they are welded? so i cant take the lip off and re-finish it?

[nathanong87]

u need custom barrels

CPRs were welded and not even "3 piece" but with money....crazy things can be done. honda content below.

Check my FS threads. I refinished a set myself. You can only take the face out. Still works fine if you're just trying to refinish the lips.

ok, thats fine by me.
i actually just bought some: 17x8.5 +28 and 17x9 +32, both low disc. best sizing i have found yet.

i will be refinishing them as well. what was the paint code you used to finish the centers? the silver...

(i might just have them polished entirely.)

looks like they do 18s and up only

[articdragon192]

You can only mill down so much due to the depth of the lugnut holes. I'm sure they use at least 2 different molds.

[ayuaddict]

If you're serious:

Calculate the barrel to lip ratio, for example: on a hypothetical wheel that actually uses different barrels to change the offset with the mounting pad exactly in line with the rear of the face: a x10 +50 offset would mean a 6.97" barrel and 3.03" lip (given that the face mounts in the lip and not between the lip and barrel). You can use that to figure out what starting width and offset you would want to use. This can work in your case, although the Blitz 03s use a different mounting pad thickness to adjust offset, different widths will allow you to run a larger lip with your desired offset. I don't know the exact lip to barrel ratio used on this particular wheel, but its quite obvious that a thinner, high offset example would be an ideal starting point to re barrel which is in your favor as these tend to be mush cheaper. Some wheels that are "welded" are actually soldered and can be taken apart by heating up the filler metal on the seams.

i hope this makes sense, fuck drinking hella coffee late at night.

Or they drill the lugnut holes after they mill down the mounting face. ;)

yea ralph is a proper dood!

he was the one that did those CPRs above!

[articdragon192]

Sometimes a different offset mold is cheaper than machine work time. That's what we do for our wheels at least. Time on the machine is more expensive that just having a different mold for the backpad.

yea i know thats why i posted him lol
baller shitt done right

[RPSil13]

Sorry to bump such an old thread, but i just picked up a set of 03's and wanted to take the faces off to have them powdercoated,

jw, if this is possible and if i would have to reseal them afterwards

thanks

[Persona]

Its impossible, the bolts are there for show.

[kalypso123]

LOL, read that twice before laughing.

you're good friend... just use rtv silicon sealant when reassembling the wheel so you get no leaks.

[fckillerbee]

so since this thread is bumped...and I have a genereal question. so I know my wheels have a titanium burnt lip added on to the wheel to give it the color (which I like). I was wondering if there are companies that can do that in general. For example...adding that to a different wheel? or even widening my current wheel another 2 inches...but still wanting to retain the titanium burnt look?

this thread has answered a question ive always wanted answers too! mc3 wheels FTW!

Yes but it's going to be a few hundred dollars a wheel. either 3-4 just to keep that finish. dippedparts.com does it all day!

they cannot be taken appart, they are welded together.

Its impossible, the bolts are there for show.

retard, the bolts are not for show. its so it can be consturcted in 3 pieces to allow for more versatile sizing, lighter weight, stronger wheel, and because they want too. they are NOT for show.

XXRs with bolts are for show.

LOL, read that twice before laughing.

you're good friend... just use rtv silicon sealant when reassembling the wheel so you get no leaks.

again, welded together, cannot be separated.

cannot add to the outer lip of that wheel, the inner part will be no issue. they are a 2 piece right?

you can add that neo cro look to most things, as stated in this thread.

ever since you were cognitive you wanted to ask theses questions, and now its been answered, thats an achievement.

cannot we widened, but can have the neo cro look added to whatever.

Theres a dude in Burlington NJ, Wheel works he specializing in all this kind of stuff. Iv scene his name dropped on different forums talking about widening and who to go to.
