Jap Split Rims - machining question

Post by CosmosblueMR2 »

Can a "Welded" Jap Split Rim (it's a Work's rim) be machined to make it into a "Bolted" split rim...

I'm a tart I admit it :oops: as i prefer the look (although not the time to clean them!)

Would you be able to get a machinist to "add" bolts either cosmetically or otherwise ?


really appreciate any info - I maybe getting some new rims you see :wink:

Hi Frank,if you want bolted split rims,then wait and see if any turn up,that way at least you'll be happy with what you get :wink:

oh well - it was just saying that those wheels are what I'm after Bry.. same as you have found BUT "bolted".

how do you navigate around the Jap sites ? - my pc here at work can access them (unlike my home one) - but it's all in japanese ! #-o
