rim flip/reversal

Post by Turbo Tonka »

hey,i have a spair set of 15x7's at home for my hilux. im after a bit of extra trak for my lux, is it worth getting these flipped? anything i should look out for???? it looks like i would gain a fair bit on them,well enough anyway. Would just about any engineering joint do these, im in tamworth. Thanks

ok thanks. is that just cos there isnt heaps to gain with 15x7. would i be better off chasing some 15x8 cruiser offset or something than perhaps even modding them???

Just buy 15x8 rims & have them offset if need.Handy info for you...if you have your 'used' rims offset by Joe Blow,what happens is,when he lathes the centre out,it goes 'out of round',into an oval shape & he'll be lucky to bring it back to true again,not to mention they'll never balance up right again either.This won't happen if you buy brand new rims or send your ones to a PROFESSIONAL wheel guy.
