The 16's and 17's both have the same size centre.....Whitehorse should be able to make you new barrels and lips pretty easily to make them 17's. I'm pretty sure they've done some before, so may even have measurements on hand still. I know someone about to have some barrels made for 17's but don't think he's progressed to measurements yet, and I'll be wanting some in the future too.

Oh do they?
I thought the 16's and 17's had different size centers.
I'll be doing some proper measurements tomorrow and get some quotes for what I'm after.

So what places would be able to do new lips and barrels for them?
Also would it be possible to steo them up to 17's easily since they have a 16" face?

Take the center out. Measure it up using the diagram on Whitehorse industry website. Give them the specs and give them what sizes you want stepped to 17s.

Got a pic of the 16" lip shape?

So my 16" Autostrada Modena's showed up today and it ended up they are 2 piece ones.

got some late model steelies from a patrol, 16x8 and put the 195/45 tyres from the chromies on them for the bravo

I posted a while back with the question about the custom lips from 17 to 18" ref's, after some poking around, I found a company that makes them to order! But since I'm struggling to find rf centres, I'm considering settling with RC centres. Although, I'm not sure if they'll bolt up. I'm told that these custom barrels and lips will only suit RS bolt patterns. So are my RC090 faces be used with RS components?

vr-wheels do replacement lips for them fecking pricey though

Hey guys, wondering if you could help me. Does anyone know what kind of lips Leon Hardiritt Orden use? This is an example of the wheel:

From looking at it, looks like they're just normal 40 bolt wheel lips?

Are 18-19" step lips in 40 bolts easy to source?

Oh, and does anyone know if these wheels are factory welded? Did a quick search and it looks like they aren't, but just wondering if anyone has had any personal experience?

Cheers!

Or at least partial $$$'s for the fuck around of having to try and find another wheel.

Spados can you hassle the guy you bought them from? Ask for $$$ back?

Bloke doesn't have a 9.5 to spare 😕 Only a whole set. Might have to wait awhile until one pops up.

Square setup would be awesome!
