Flipping Rims

Post by HRZOOK »

I was considering trying to flip some rims at home. With just some basic tools and alot of patience.

Has any one attempted to do this?

Was it successful?

Would it work??

Thanks in advance

How much does it cost to have them flipped professionally, $80 or so?

Do you have the tools to spin them up strait and make sure they are balanced?

yeah myself and gwagensteve did mine. Just took it nice and slow, measured twice welded once. So far they have been fine and on the car for nearly 3.5 years with no dramas, leaks etc still run true with no more adverse handling than what the swampers add

Yeah flipped them at home. They farked up a bit so had to go back and redo two. Matter of setting them up on diff and spinning against a square. Ended up getting it right. Then balanced them wid tires

$38 each near me

Second that. If you are keen Heath, i want to get a set done. At the moment i will have to wait like 4 weeks at least to get some -28mm offset rims, then i will prob want to flip them anyway. I can get normal offset rims whenever i want, so let me know if ya wanna organise something.

street wheels is a 2 minute drive from my place have had some mates get work done from him before. Good work cheep but he is slow. Also he is not working the business full time now as there is not enough market in steel wheels now days for full time. Give him a try if you cant get on to him dont give up.

Hope that included painting in 2-PAC or powder coating. Mine cost $50 a rim and it was lucky to cost me $60 to paint all 5 rims. Not saying that it wasnt a great job but that price is double of mine.
