  • Upsizing Split Wheels

    Heeeeeeeeeeeeey

    I know you can upsize 3-piece splits from say 16" to 17" or 17" to 18".

    Is it possible to upsize from 15" to 17"?

    For the moment this is more of a rhetorical question, I don't have an application for it but I've just been interested if it is possible?

    There's lots of pretty cool 15" wheels out there but most of the cars I'd be interested in putting them on would need a 17" wheel to sit right...

    Any thoughts?

    Should be possible if the wheel was flat lipped to begin with.

    There is plenty of BBS RS out there which have been stepped up another inch which are obviously stepped lipped by default.

    You'd simply use a lip with double sized step.

    For example:

      That's it! They look so good! I was basically thinking of the 1-piece to 3-piece conversions those guys in Poland are doing which look immense and then I was thinking there are some pretty cool 15" centres that would look awesome in a 17" wheel.

      Basically I'm looking into getting an S2000 soon and want something different to the usual RS/ regular JDM stuff.

      Thanks man.
