I'm done. Every set of wheels i find. Every set.
Miss out on. By absolutely nothing. If i don't get this set tonight, that i missed out on by a phone call of 20 seconds im done with cars. Currently crying.

anyone ever had issues getting a wheel centre back into its lip/barrel.
I've split and rebuild close to 20 sets of wheels and never had this issue...
They are front mounted 3 piece. I've given the mounting points a tidy up and I'm putting the centre in the same lip and barrel it came from in the exact same position...
even tried some persuasion with a rubber mallet with no results.
what worries me is I haven't even painted the centres yet... I don't want to go hitting them with stuff once painted

My SSR meshies were almost impossible!
had to grind of the edges of new paint on centers + a mm extra. and pull in with longer bolts.

First set of wheels ive cleaned and rebuilt, and that experience has turned me off doing it again.

seperating the centers took a big sledge aswell :l

yeah hopefully!!
will give them a sand first and see what happens

The ACS came in pieces and I never did a proper test assembly before having them painted. 4 or 5 longer bolts to get the spread even when tightening and a bit of sanding should solve the issue.

I had trouble with my ACS, but that was after powder(which looked shit) and then paint, so they were thickened up a bit. Pre-paint seems odd.....were they hard to separate?

I just got the ACS as close as I could and just did them up as per usual and let the tightening of the bolts bring them together.....but that probably doesn't help much as that's the obvious solution. I can't remember if I sanded the CB of the lips and barrels a bit to try and take a mm or 2 off....I think I did.

I had to give them a whack when seperating, like you would say a BBS RS.
yeah tried that but bolts not long enough. was thinking about getting 4 or 5 longer bolts and doing as you said. that way would be able to make sure it was even load.
did hit in the inside face CB with a nylon brush on the drill, but might give everything a light touch of sand paper, that was my next move.

Will be making sure that spot on the centres on the centres is taped off when painting/powdercoating for sure.

Were the ACS hard to separate?

Im considering getting some oem wheels but I need some 5x100 - 5x112 adapters in 20mm. Anyone know where to get some reasonably priced ones and how much they would roughly cost??

[GJA003]

Why must it be holiday time. Streeter pls.

[SebastienPeek]

Messaged you this morning Craig, time to get another barrel made!

[Oxer]

Im not...

[RBT]

Fuark... god damnit.

Stop buying shit.

[Respect Till Death]

do you guys have hookups to get new valves for 3pc wheels? Picking up Roman's Futuras soon and buying some 17" lips of Beware but I'm missing a valve, easier to replace all 4 I guess. Craig is that something you can do? Also someone that can redrill that isn't a gumby - going from 114.3 to 112
