3 pcs Work wheel question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

GT240R · 10-23-2008, 07:59 AM

I recently finished restoring and polishing some Work Rezax II wheels and wanted to know if I need to seal them with some kind of silicon? There seems to be a light layer of silicon around the three different sections in the middle of the wheel, but not sure. When I had recieved them they had already been taken apart.

**ThatGuy** · 10-23-2008, 08:08 AM

Yes, they need to be sealed. Metal and bolts alone will not provide an airtight seal.

KA-T_240 · 10-23-2008, 08:14 AM

^What he said!

And to go off topic........ Post more info like sized and such on those wheels! They are pretty sweet!

Quail · 10-23-2008, 08:16 AM

Nice! What colour car are they going on?

s13dan · 10-23-2008, 08:39 AM

Sick wheels... show some pics of final product.

Saskacer · 10-23-2008, 01:00 PM

Nice wheels man. And what the hell is Dr. Thunder, lol must be a texas thing.

Paging Azndoc.. paging Azndoc....doctor?

He would know or Aspec Logan. I too am thinking of blowing apart my equips and have always wondered what kind of sealant to use when reassambeling. I also remember from other threads that it is recommended to replace the bolts when reassembeling don't know how true that is or how many people do it as those bolts are a little pricey from Work.

A Spec Products · 10-23-2008, 01:11 PM

Yeah its a sandwich type 3 piece wheel

You would typically want to use an industrial silicone along the center of the barrel

Keep in mind typically you would want to have a professional disassemble / reassemble your wheels if you are not familiar

JVDSKYRINE · 10-23-2008, 01:29 PM

I did mine just go to crappy tire and get some industrial strength silicone and put it on the inside edge and make sure all the bolts are tight. And make sure you clean off all the old silicone other whise they won't seal properly.

SoSideways · 10-23-2008, 01:38 PM

^ They don't have Can Tire in Texas lol

xdumbxguyx · 10-23-2008, 01:46 PM

miggypq21 · 10-23-2008, 01:49 PM

diet dr thunder eh? nice wheels =D

Magnum · 10-23-2008, 02:11 PM

Dow Corning 832 Multi Surface Adhesive Sealant is good for sealing 3 peice wheels.

GT240R · 10-23-2008, 02:24 PM

Thanks for the info and I will try to find a good silcone and reseal these monsters. Thanks for the comments too. I bought these about 6 months back for a wide body I am doing on my S14 and they looked like shit when I recieved them. They had a lot of rash were missing wheel bolts, so I bought new bolts and nuts and had a body shop paint the wheel plates white and clear them. Then started the long process of sanding and polishing the lips. I was able to take the majority of the rash out, but couldn't take them all out. I will be using some JUN flares for the wide body and the color of the car is currently Ultra Violet Metalic (purplish with touch of blue). I will post more pics later when I have more time to work on my car. I am not sure of the offset but were close to this:

Front: 18x11 +6
Rear: 18X12.5 +16 IIRC

They are about 3mm from the sturt and stick out about 2.25 to 2.5 both in front and back.

dynamicck · 10-23-2008, 07:26 PM

dayam!

that lip is so weak!!!

lol very nice, i love the rezax's

honeybadger · 10-25-2008, 01:30 PM

That Purple S14 is very good looking !!

GT240R · 11-23-2008, 11:16 AM

DUDEIDONTHAVEA240 · 11-23-2008, 11:53 AM

That's going to look good when you finish. It looks real aggressive. BTW great job on the wheels.

scweet1 · 11-23-2008, 12:07 PM

Loving that color! Cannot wait to see it finished.

ZX88 · 11-23-2008, 12:09 PM

damn those wheels are baller. now lower your shit asap.

ZilviaKid · 11-23-2008, 12:20 PM

so over fenders im guessing?

GT240R · 11-23-2008, 12:33 PM

Thanks, some people that obviously don't know their shit, or don't have the balls to try and fit these wheels told me that they wouldn't fit. No spacers no rubing or anything.

18X11+6 FRONT

18X13+16 REAR

I think I will try the fender flares that I have first if not then overs it is.

240lookis · 11-23-2008, 01:17 PM
