Pics don't do them justice will take some good pics when I finish putting them all together. They are satin bronze centers with gloss bronze lips. copper dipped hardware. Havnt decided if I want to do white work stickers or red.

Silly question, I got some ol skool 16x8 +32(2each) and +36(2 each) Advan SA3R they are 2 piece 40 bolt. I was thinking what if i flip the face to give em less offset??

turbo2nr · 10-16-2012, 02:19 PM

you beat me to the bronze look! i plan on doing a lighter bronze next summer with my s1's.

yea the sticker is a tough call i like red but i feel like black may be a neutral choice with all the nice colors you have going on.

NoPistons! · 10-16-2012, 08:24 PM

Love this thread. I've noticed a few places carry replacement lips for vs-xx.

Does anyone have face diameter measurements for 17 and 18 inch face? Also outer portion of bolt hole to outer portion of face. Thanks!

Info would come in handy for other people working at building their setup using vs-xx parts, not just myself.

GabeS14 · 10-17-2012, 11:13 AM

This is an inner barrel 7,5" mounter as an outer. Just as a test to see how an inner looks, .. But i hate how the lip curls at the tip. . . So gonna just wait for my custom 10" outers to be made. . .

Try Contacting Vrwheels or wheelflip

jewlz · 10-19-2012, 10:25 PM

yeah so far i've emailed memoryfab, vr wheels, wheelflip and maybe some others i've came across while trying to figure this out.

PurePontiacKid · 10-21-2012, 06:14 PM

Are those Meisters painted or powder coated? if powder coated, do you by chance know the name of the color?

in regards to most wheels, especially works, you dont need the dimensions, you just need to know how many holes.

17" faces have 36 holes
18" faces have 40 holes

also, you can use 17" faces to make an 18" wheel if you use stepped lips.

Apex`R · 10-22-2012, 01:30 AM

wheres the best place to get 17" custom lips for a good price?
or if anyone has a hook up let me know

dawagarage · 10-22-2012, 08:00 AM

^review this thread in it's entirety and come back if youre still unsure

driftescort · 10-27-2012, 03:33 AM

Wonder if some of you guys could help me out.

I am thinking about picking up a set of Blitz 03s to get re-lipped.

Can anyone confirm to me if the lips/barrels are welded together on these?

C. Anderson · 10-27-2012, 08:20 AM

^Yes they are welded.

budweisers14 · 11-02-2012, 11:46 AM

What do you guys think should I dish these ? Lowenhart LGM's 18"

stockdrift · 11-12-2012, 06:39 PM

I have the connection to cut a two piece wheel and turn it into a three piece . My machine will turn your two piece into a three piece , but I can also cut and re position the face on most two price welded wheels I have done this a lot , I am a certified wheel whore , if your local to the orange county there very little I cannot do or have done with my large list of contacts

Don Nguyen · 11-12-2012, 08:38 PM

You say you have a connection then you say it's your machine. Which is it.

ASIA · 11-12-2012, 09:49 PM

Anybody know the differences in offset between o-disk, a-disk, and r-disk? I'm rebuilding 18x10+0 wheels that originally had O-disk centers but will be swapping in A-disks. How much would my offset change?
