    Widening IX weaves

    Ive noticed you can buy replacement lips for bbs rims that are 2 or 3 piece. Would if be possible to bolt these onto my weaves with the proper modification of the lip and drilling holes on a drill press? Has anyone done this?

      Wow. I didn't think this would ever be asked by a person on a car forum. . . .

        With enough money anything can be done. But the cheaper option is to buy 3 piece wheels.

          Fuck it, I will talk to a machinist rather than someone on a forum with a bunch of posts named Philo.

          Since I have the wheels, how would it not be cheaper?

                    Uhh. . . . What's wrong with my name, Need4Speed1299? Not original enough for you?

                    I don't feel like legitimately answering or discussing this question with you. Maybe if you grow up, educate yourself, or use some common sense you'll figure it out. Or you can just talk to the machinist. I'm sure he'll use his college degree to custom build some wheels for you on the cheap.

                        If you can get this done, find out if you can turn your sealed beams into elipsoids.

                          Just buy some honda wheels. You have tons of high offset wheels with a lip available to you already for a cheaper price then getting your wheels modified. Its going to cost you at least 400 for a set of lips+ another 400 to get them modified. Just spend the $400 on a set of spun supamesh and call it a day.

                            Some of you guys are outrageous. Obviously wheels can be widened, steel or aluminum. All I was asking is if I could make my 1 piece wheels into 2 piece, which IS possible. However, I don't know if it would be possible with my style rim.
