When converting LMs to 3 piece, do the lip and barrel need to be welded (making it a 2 piece wheel)?
One local shop says to use regular bolts and weld the lip and barrel, while another local shop says no welding required but stronger bolts needed.

I do not want to machine the flange of the face or enlarge the bolt holes...I have seen the blackforrest 3 piece kit to sandwich mount, but I want the face front mounted to get maximum lip.

Anyone out there with 3 piece LMs?
