i've flirted with bringing this up on other posts. has anyone here disassembled/assembled three-piece wheels themselves? what's involved? diassembling my wheels would greatly facilitate the refinishing process...
it seems to me that so long as the wheel was sealed with integrity during reassembly, and the bolts slowly brought up to torque with some care, that there's no reason not to do this myself? i'm not trying to be a cheap bastard here, just looking for a project.

BBS Motorsport in GA are more than happy to sell all parts, inners, outers, seals, bolts.
Bill Baker at (800) 422-7972. They were great about letting my use a few different sizes of rim halfs to determing fit on my 993. Get a torque wrench that is calibrated in lower register inch/lbs. Also, torque in roundabout fasion, don't have to do star pattern etc. Worked out great for me. dr Attached image(s) |
