I have 18" Work VS-X9 wheels that were only made in 1998 from what I gather. Since they are 36 hole instead of 40 I've been having a hard time finding the parts I need. The fit my car well now, but I have wider front fenders and rear flares coming right now, so I need bigger lips.
I found one company that sells "blanks", but the inner bore of the lip and barrel would need to be bored out and all of the holes drilled, and I'm not entirely sure the easiest way to bore out the center (who to take it to). I assume drilling the holes wouldn't be too difficult, just time consuming.
Hopefully I've attached those pictures correctly. I took some measurements and it appears the inner bore is approximately 14 3/4" and the bolt diameter is 15 3/8", although the wheels were assembled so the measurements are probably off a small amount.
Also, I wouldn't be opposed to converting these to 2 piece if it makes it cheaper, but I don't see anyone selling 2 piece barrels, is this something anyone does?
Is it possible to reverse mount on these wheels? I like how they look as is, but if it makes it easier for something to work I wouldn't mind that either.
Edit: just in case anyone ever needs this info you can get the lips and barrels from VR Wheels at a very reasonable price
