Outer Limits 4x4 Board

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

this might help

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.

Yeah he is normally in between 8am and lunch mon to fri and 8am to 11am saturdays. He was quick on mine,. I droped them off on a thursday and he rang me friday arvo saying i coulg pick them up on saturday. So he was quick for me. He is allso going to do my custom 10" rims for me aswell, but he will do them from start, i wont supply him anything.

Any updates on this...

I plan on visiting that guy at Penrith in a month or 2 will let you know.

I just got mine done at Overkill - $100 per rim. Good job

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.
