Flipped rims in melbourne?

Post by mikesmith »

hey guys i am after some flipped rims to gain some more offset on my patrol mq.

will get landcruiser offset and get them flipped. just want as much track as i can get while still having good rim strength and no use of spacers.

does anyone know someone in melbourne who can do this?

also how much would it be to get them beadlocked a couple of months after? just money is tight prob wont be able to afford the lot to start with.

any help appreciated.

thanks

mike

i did cut a centre out and rewelded it myself. it's not hard, just time consuming. it's ok for offroad i guess, but i wouldn't street it.

Pro-comp in Narree Warren HAve them ready to go. I've forgotten how much but by the time you've bought a set of rims, paid someone to flip them then re-painted, it could end up the same, without the hassle

Be prepared for bearings to chew out and for steering axis to be up the shit..

dont mind the problem with wheel bearings. being a mechanic i can check it all the time and they are only going to be used on the way to the bush and wheeling.

i have different rims\wheels for everyday driving.

will give all the guys a call. pro comp may be the go with them ready to go.

i will see and post back up prices.

thanks
