Flipping rims

Post by Wozza244 »

Who will do a set of flipped 15x8 rims for me and what is the rough price if anyone has done it, i asked a few places and they said no, because of their insurance. (in case a rim cracks while im driving they can be liable they said)

I have the rims at home ready to go.
Get out there!!

5'' spacers :shock: holly fark, did you custom make them or bolting a spacer to another spacer?

Hoping it was a typo.

spacers

Post by stock 4runner »

no 5 inch is right. flip rims are 4 inch and i went a little further and yes they are a custom set not two sets have not had wheel bearing pobs yet but has cost me two front gards and a rear diff housing as it was stock as with no braces

remember that once they are done, you'll need to re-paint / powder coat them too. I did mine but would have just bought them pre-done from Procomp except that they didn't clear the front brake calipers.

If the procomp rims will clear the calipers on ur 60 then sell the rims u have and get these ones pre-modified... it'll save no end of hassle
