Aussie wheel tech/discussions

[dylan8]

got a close up pic front and back? be easy to tell if it can be done or not without doing any cutting?

[Lukey]

I might take one of the tyres off them and see if i can unbolt the center and get it apart and see what the go is

[Lukey]

When i said reverse mount for tyres i meant you gotta fit the tyres from the back of the wheel not the front, wasnt sure if that would make a difference

[dylan8]

4 new lips and barrels later could cost a few $$. craig at WH should be able to sort you out.
if they are reverse mounted should save on having to hack up the old lips and barrels to just get the centres out atleast.

Anyone played with Weds before? My chromies are Weds, i believe and am interested in widening them as they are too narrow and too high offset, they are 2 piece with the lips and barrells welded. They are also reverse mount for tyres (if that makes a difference). Any suggestions?

Bummer about the tumbler.
Never put the nuts in, might make up a separate batch of media and give it a go after soaking them in coke or something

iv rebuilt many a 3 piece wheel before, but getting the split piece nuts nice and clean without individually scrubbing them as always bugged me.
anyone got any tips?

I put all my bolts and nuts in a Acid Bath at work. Seemed to clean all the loctite and soften the caked on brake dust. Could wipe some clean but still hit them on the wire wheel quickly and was going to chuck them in my Tumbler but its died.

So once they send the replacement unit it out ill post a update.

Where are you guys getting spacers from?
Are the ebay ones good enough?

I'm after 4 50mm spacers for the BMW.

ecs tuning, cant go wrong.

[dylan8]

I had a set come in via AUSpost. they were pretty unhappy about having 4 wheels sitting in a small country depot while they waited for me to pick them up

[SebastienPeek]

Need serious help, who and how do you guys post wheels?
Looking at wheel whore boys specifically.

Looks like Phil isn't buying the RS', so I'm probably going to ship them to America. But don't know how I should pack them up/who I should post them with.

Shit didn't even see this, yeah it'd be interesting to know for sure. At the moment i went with building a set of BBS's but these will be the next build.

Before i order a Tumbler did anyone locally in Melbourne have one they'd let me borrow. I'd be happy to buy new media for you.

No worries man. I gotta call the bloke soon, and I'm seeing him in a few weeks. Hopefully he has the specs written down somewhere still. He's old school

I know this is really fucking late, but I know a guy who made sets of wheels for Jimmy for his BMWs. Not sure if e30, but definitely the 635. He might have some specs for Richos e30 lying around, he seems to have done most other racing cars from that era.

I can ask if you haven't already decided/spent/made wheels up
