Custom 1 piece wheels to 2-3 piece :)

[Aitch]

I've always been a fan of the OZ Opera II wheel.




Anyone know if they are a good candidate to be converted to 3 piece? They are a 2PC wheel with removable face. Better pics of a disassembled wheel are here: https://www.drive2.ru/l/6621826/

As a 2-piece wheel, you're already 90% of the way to building it as a 3-piece. Essentially the only difference is that you're putting together both lips and barrels instead of a welded lip/barrel combo.

The only odd thing is that the hole spacing may be a little non-standard. Probably still require some custom work.

What wheels?

Hi

New here so please not to shoot me down in flames. I found this thread through a google search so joined the forum.

I am looking to have some 1 piece wheels converted to 3 piece and from 16" stepped up to 18". Is there anyone in the UK who can do this or advice if its even possible on these wheels please.

Regards J

Wow these look so good. I have a set of Alpina Style E21 13" alloys that I want to convert to 15" as a project myself.
Have seen pics but dont exactly know how its done.
From what I gather its mostly machining off the barrel leaving the face. Filling the valve port, machining the faces flat for mating the lips and barrel and then drilling the holes to mate the lips and barrel? Am I on the right track?

I will read this thread from the beginning but any help is appreciated around selection of parts, thx

I depends on the wheel. Mb there is too less material and you need to make the contact surface deeper.

Got some 2-piece speedlines modded as 3-piece for the past season.
