Dnk Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) They are splitrims but not sure if their 2 or 3 piece ? i If they are 3 piece then your looking at getting on for £100 per wheel for a proper refurb Give Ibrar a call at Speedwells Edited August 24, 2011 by Dnk (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafia996630 Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 Size is 17. No idea what split rims are, or 2 - 3 piece ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 they are split rims. ive a version of these oz's for my rears with larger centre. the time will be taking the nuts off! i would think if you took the time to split them apart yourself and got a company to sandblast them you wouldn't spend a huge amount. they are two piece. get a photo of the rear of the wheels to show where they come apart better.

If yours are 2 piece then just the center piece unbolts from the rim Once their split you would get them chemically stripped in phosphoric acid, then powdercoat or paint the center, you can powdercoat or paint the rim as well or have it polished back to how it was originally.
