I have given up on having someone widen my wheels.
I'm going to cut them on one of our lathes at work and weld the fuckers myself.
Too bad I can't pull them off till the 5 feet of snow on my car melt

I've just ordered more dishes to widen my other set of panasports, same as the ones I posted on the previous page. I'll have some pics up once they arrive.

You guys wouldn't happen to know if work wheels have the lips welded to the rear barrel or not? more specifically vs-kf and for an extra bonus point would anyone happen to know the amount of bolt holes and pcd sizes of the barrels and bolts?

Well, I'm not widening my wheels but I am getting them powder coated. My question is should I take the two barrels apart before getting them re-done? I was thinking if the silicone would hold up in the oven I should be ok, but I just want to make sure before I take them to get coated and I'm told to take them apart and then come back.

i agree sam. if you're going this route, you had better set aside some money to have them xray'ed as an integrity check, possibly send them out for re-forging? i wouldnt feel comfortable just riding on welded wheels

According to Eric Vaughn, who has been widenning wheels for decades said they are track worthy, he does hundreds of race car wheels a year, even big racing companys use him.

Welcome to Jongbloed Racing Wheels

I contacted these guys YEARS ago about making some barrels and they seemed up to the task, but I never followed through. Might be another place to talk to if anyone is serious about this.

Yup I know plenty of track guys who have had wheels widened/shortened without issue.

Just got my Wedz Kranze Rapiers back from re-lipping and polishing today
19x12-46
the entire lip was destroyed during my accident, and he had to weld two porsche lips together and weld that onto my wheel to get them to the exact size.
compared to the shitty job that LAX wheel repair attempted to do.....his work was magical..you cant tell the wheel was ever in an accident, and he even smoothed out the inner barrel too.Now I am going to have them anodized, because I am not such a bling fan, prefer straight aluminum look .






cost for the two wheels repaired and re-lipped was $600..
if your wheel requires only 1 lip then the cost is below $200
I would def recommend Eric Vaughn to anyone wanted to up or reduce the size of their rims.

Is that definately a 3" lip on the rear of your mates? looks a fraction smaller in the pic. On the page 2 of this thread you'll see my other panasports with a 3" lip on the rear wheels. These ones cost about £320 iirc so about $510 dollars plus maybe a little bit more on top for shipping to america.

i dunno about you

but racing is not as harsh as normal street driving


street driving typically involves massive potholes and can often involve neglect, to the point where people drive shit with little or no air in their tires.

when something is welded, its the seam around the weld that is brittle and can break.


i am not saying the work isnt good or that its not reliable. i am simply saying, what cost to this risk? personally, i'de prefer getting the proper wheel from the get-go and calling it a day. but hey, to each his own. its cool stuff though. but 140mph with a set of welded wheels? dunno about that
