Don't mean to be a douche, but I am curious....to the people who have converted their 2-piece Style 5s over to 3-piece by cutting or machining the barrel, wouldn't it have been much easier to just remove the face off the barrel and install it on a set of 3-piece barrels and install new lips on them? Or is that not possible with Style 5s? Reason I ask is cuz I'm considering buying a set for my E39, but the converting them to 18" 3-piece wheels by buying new barrels and lips.
Or is that just not possible to do?
