Rebuilding SSR Professors

i honestly dont think they would be welded. that doesnt make much sense to weld a 3pc wheel.

I think you can just check if the face is welded. Do you have any pics?

Yes it would be obvious....if they didn't have tires on them. I am trading for them and the seller is currently using them. I am trying to find out before getting them if they are welded or not, if they are I will pass as making them the size I want will not be very easy or cost effective.

Well, check if they're welded. It'll be pretty obvious.

Tried searching and didnt see an answer to my question. I am possibly purchasing a set of used professors for my E36. They are 18x8.5 et 42 and I'd like to get some new lips and widen them. Anyone rebuilt these? I have found some Work lips which are also 40 hole but some old threads I have found about the professors say the lips and barrels may be welded together not just bolted and sealed? TIA
