Fakes into real splits

any wheel manufacturer will be able to fab up lips to your specs. Its going to be pricy though. Memoryfab wanted to charge me 275 a lip

Not sure, can you? Any idea where blanks would be available?

Blanks are what companies like rotiform and other refurbing companies use to drill out then charge more for.

I guess you can call VR wheels or someone and find out about getting a set of blanks.

Bump! What multi-piece wheels use 20-hole lips and barrels?

BBS Motorsport and Ronal. Maybe a few others.

Can't you order blanks and drill the holes yourself?

You could see if Tuner Shop or Wheel Flip would be willing to help you out with them. I had a good experience with Tuner Shop, but Wheel Flip may be a little cheaper.

Exactly the info I'm looking for! Heard of Tuner Shop, not so much Wheel Flip. Thanks a lot!

Judging by the picture you would have to go 3 piece. As for lips, almost any 3 piece wheel company should be able to help out I'd imagine

Not really, certain manufacturers have different numbers of bolts holding the three pieces together. I'm trying to find ones that only have 20 holes, with the same dimensions as the holes that already exist on my wheels.

Looks classic though! The pattern of the wheels are amazing.....

Those are bbs e50 reps, and e50's (along with any other 15-18" bbs Motorsport wheel) use 20 hole lips. I don't have any around to check dimensions of, but you may be lucky and have them be the same.

Thanks for the info, I'll see what I can track down!

These would look sweet on an old school Benz.

Cheers! here's a few pics of the Benz in question:





Still quite a bit of restoration to go, but the wheels should be a fitting addition once done.

Anyone know where I can find 20-hole lips/barrels with the dimensions in the first post? Or at least a wheel manufacturer that uses a similar pattern?

Hoping for 15x7.5 or so, medium offset.
