Rollajones Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 hey guys i need some help i have some ssr reverse mesh 15x7 +26 what i need to know: are they a 2 or 3 piece wheel? can't find a clear answer. and also i need to increase the offset to something more negative, as they hit my struts (brought 8mm spacers and still no joy) is it safe fixing the inners like in this picture?

Trev Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 2 piece is when the centre comes out of the rim. 3 piece is when the centre comes out and the rim separates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollajones Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 I have tryes on but I took the centre out today and it looks as if it have 3 pieces but I thought they were 2 piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rian Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 You could try flipping the centres to get less offset, although you should measure it all up first to make sure the wheel will be usable with the 'flipped' offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRedSpirit Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 You will find the best three piece wheels have the inner and outer barrels welded together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollajones Posted July 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 Would these be welded? Because where the two barrels meet and the centre bolts on you can see a seem around the band? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 sounds like it.... You can see the weld in this picture. And you can see the top half is differnet to the bottom half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's_AUDM_Yo Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 I've actually never seen a 3 piece wheel that hasn't been welded? It would be pretty to stop it leaking otherwise. Your either gunna have to get bigger spacers or flip them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleRedSpirit Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 Ive seen a few sets that were widened by morons that were not welded, just to save money and cause they didnt know what they were supposed to do. Ive seen some old sets of three piece racing rims, compomotoves I think, they were able to be pulled down and bolted together with wider outers for different applications. They were never welded to allow this. Some without welds have silicon or gaskets of some description to seal them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CREEDY Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 Pretty sure there are some thick spacers available on ebay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
