How to go about rebuilding. Work wheels.

[B*A*M]

i remember looking at these on rbwheels before I picked up the RS's. i ran into the same predicament.

[Richard_Gud.]

jesus that doesn't make me feel any better.

I also wanted this exact set of wheels because they're only $800. But I'll be PMing you yoko.

[FreshLikeSushi]

you can
but it is as much as a whole wheel.
bolts however are impossible

[cheez80]

and i've heard getting new barrels out of work is like squeezing gold out of coal.

[FreshLikeSushi]

they are
you cant swap lips
but i can get you a set of new ones in 5x100 NP

[BLKonBLK98]

word on the street is the kf's are welded together. never messed with em myself.

[wheelfetish]

If you get bigger lips, it will make the barrels wider and a deeper dish (ex. 7in barrels with a 3in lip would make the new barrel size 10in). This will also make your offset a lot lower.



I think

So I'm pretty set in stone on ordering some Work VS-KF. A shop near me actually has some in 17 inch, and 5x100, which seems to be hard to find.

The only real downer is that they are 17x7+47.
Therefore, if I'm figuring this out correctly, I want...3 inch bigger barrels, and bigger lips, correct?

If that is correct, how do I go about doing that? I had some two-piece Volk wheels last summer, but I sold them because I had no idea how to go about getting bigger barrels.

Here are the wheels.



and the car they're going on come spring.
