Why is everything always located out in Cali? This thread makes my wheel shopping so much damn easier.

Has anyone tried widening stock s14 SE wheels to about 9-10"? What kind of spacers will I need to clear the suspension?

icedsole · 09-14-2011, 09:51 PM

personally that makes me want to stab my eyes out

Mister.E · 09-28-2011, 10:12 PM

Please stab mine out first and then proceed to do whatever you'd like with yours. That is extremely ugly.

Dolph_KYAS13 · 09-28-2011, 10:15 PM

^ i bet they balance mint haha

maplejesse · 09-28-2011, 10:42 PM

why did he make them too wide

Eyegazm · 10-06-2011, 03:34 PM

lol beats me, found it on google!

joel903 · 01-01-2012, 02:26 PM

I know this thread is a few months old but I want to ask some simple questions that's been on my mind as I'm in the process of widening my vsxx.

Why does everyone keep trash talking vrwheels bolt on replacment lips for the vsxx, equip, etc ? Are they really that bad and cheap? Fitment issues? Longevity and strength compare to original Work lips?

I hope someone who rebuilds rims on here chime in as I want a experts opinion.

As long as you are buying new parts from them, they should be good. Just make sure they are 6061-T6. Or order from us.

My company offers all types of wheel customization but specializes in rebarreling/resizing wheels. Let me know if you guys need any replacement lips/barrels or want us to do the work. We have done a few sets for Zilvia members.

One thing to remember is that all wheels are different and many require machine work or prior experience with knowing measurements and construction types.

Lukasss · 01-01-2012, 10:52 PM

I picked up some Equip M1s
Currently the front is weak as fuhh, 18x9 et 35 with a 2' lip

So, im buying 3' lips off a buddy of mine who took them off his VS-XX's
After re-lipping, am I correct in saying the new size will be 18x10 et 23?

shouldn't your new size be 18x10 +10? Cause you added 1inch extra and that's 25.4mm

no your wrong its a bit less then -13mm less offset if you add a inch to the lip its +13mm if you add it the barrel. you need to understand how offset works.

joel903 · 01-04-2012, 03:37 PM

Please explain it to me cause you just got me totally confused. I thought I had it figured out but i guess not. I thought 1in = -25.4mm to original offset?

et 22 but yea you are correct!

Lukasss · 01-01-2012, 11:14 PM

Alright cool, just wanted to reassure myself lol

aslo, im not a huge fan of the lips on the rear, but is there a particular name for them?
you can see where the surface is raised then drops down again

jdizzy204 · 01-02-2012, 01:52 AM

the 3 parts of a 3 piece wheel are: Lip, Face and Barrel.

Are you referring to the Barrel of the front wheels or the lip on the rear wheels?

If you are referring to the barrel, it has to be stepped like that in order to dis/mount the tires since the lip is flat

icedsole · 01-02-2012, 04:29 AM

lukas i think they are 1st gen lips. my friends 5 spoke equpis have them too, but his are like 6 inch.

Some pictures...

Custom SANDWICH mounted and stepped Work VS-XX

Custom SANDWICH mounted SSR Vienna Kries and converted to 20 holes. Compare it with the front wheel which is original top mounted and 45 (?) holes.

More Vienna Kreis

Kenstyle Locksmice Duke

Custom step lipped SSR Agle Strusse. I think it's the only set in the world to be stepped.

3-piece M7

Auto Couture widened for Ken Gushi's Lexus GS

Widened CCW LM20, custom sandwich mounted, 24k faces, caps, and bolts.

Custom engraved lips.

We can also turn 1-piece wheels into 2-piece, and much more.
