Hi Criag,
Will be looking to get some lips and barrels done through you guys in the near future for my autostradas and BBS RS. with the autostradas, they seem to have there own shape of lip, are you guys able to replicate that exactly if i already have one lip to copy off?

[Craig Winters]

Fair enough.

Eastern wheel works wont machine off welded lips... And Re-assembly is easy..


We might have to do a little more research.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday Craig! bed time for me

I'll talk to Ron @ eastern wheel works. He has machined them apart a couple of times for people I have sent to him.

Failing that I can machine it off, just need to work out a price.

ohh why no 19s???? i really need a set done but in 19s

Hey mate.

Haven't had the demand for 19". Costs about $5000 for new tooling to be made.

[Craig Winters]

As I mentioned before, allow about $165 ea for the new lip and $45 ea for polishing.

We don't machine the old lips off or drill and reassemble the new lips. You can get that done through eastern wheel works. I know that they charge about $120 for reassembly. Don't know about machining though.

As for being up so late, I'm on the Mrs iPad on holiday in Cairns.

Back to work on Tuesday.

Pretty much all SSR wheels are welded... it is indeed a pain.

What sort of price would you be looking at for say a set of 16" welded wheels to have lips removed and new ones made?

Also, Why are you up so late and on here haha? Customer service is deffinately quality

[Craig Winters]

What do you want to do?

[Jimmy_HR32]

Good question Oxer! I didn't really want to modify my 17" SSR FM from their factory specs but maybe this is the way to go...

[Craig Winters]

welded rims. what a pain in the arse

Yes you can get the lip machined off the barrel and a new lip made. What do you have?

[Oxer]

If I have a 3 piece wheel, but the lip and barrel are welded together, can you machine off the lips and make new ones making them a true 3 piece?

[Craig Winters]

Need to add that having new lips made for your rims is a cheap way to go. Average $165 each + $45 for polishing. Have been doing wheels for 20+ years so we know what we are doing.

Cheers

Craig

[Craig Winters]

More than happy to help with any questions that anybody might have.

At first I thought this was a spam thread, but then I realised who you are haha.

Good to have you posting on here Craig, Ive been meaning to get in touch with you guys, I might even swing by on tuesday to finally meet you guys in person.
