How do you have tyres mounted to some of these wheels that aren't even bolted together fully, nor do they look to even have valves in some of them? I'm confused.
You've made some really nice custom 3 piece wheels though....they'll be even better once refinished nicely!

he doesn't need to use all bolts just to try them on. it's not like he's driving the car or anything. if it's sealed properly that'll suffice.Originally posted by Beware View PostHow do you have tyres mounted to some of these wheels that aren't even bolted together fully, nor do they look to even have valves in some of them?

it seems like there's no valve stem, because probably he used a lip and a barrel which have a stem placed in the barrel, not in the lip lip. look up "90 degree valve stem". it's quite common.Comment

the front definitily needs to be able to tuck like the rear does-FREEDOM- is cruisin at 80, windows down and listening to the perfect song-thinking "this is it"

oil crankcase of the engine lying on the ground and the rear gear is also lying on the ground that is the understatement of the maximum and smoothOriginally posted by CHIF8008 View PostComment

the wheels are assembled on weldingOriginally posted by Beware View PostHow do you have tyres mounted to some of these wheels that aren't even bolted together fully, nor do they look to even have valves in some of them? I'm confused.

many new wheels are weldedOriginally posted by ulik87 View Postyou welded split rims?
why would you do that?
made for a particular carComment

I don't think I'd be putting all the weight of a 7 series on 4 or 5 tiny M7 bolts and some sealant, even if not to drive on, but each to their own. As for valve stems in the barrels, yes I'm aware of that option, but the holes where the valve stems once were in the original wheel faces aren't even filled with anything. I guess sealant in the hole would be sufficient too?Originally posted by ulik87 View Post
As for them being welded, which explains it now......why not weld them? Plenty of wheel manufacturers have been welding split wheels together for years! However I wonder if they are true custom made 3 piece split wheels or more so 2 piece, as some appear to almost just be a new aftermarket lip on top of a wheel that's had it's original lip lathed off, which would explain why they're welded.
Any progress pics of how you make the wheels?Comment

usually be welded two or all three parts of the wheelOriginally posted by Beware View PostI don't think I'd be putting all the weight of a 7 series on 4 or 5 tiny M7 bolts and some sealant, even if not to drive on, but each to their own.

get twin or split rolls
I do any wheel, but in this case I prefer, to unite them,although 40 on the bolt is still there on each wheel in addition to welding.Last edited by y200yk; 10-27-2015, 08:28 AM.Comment
