swapping wheel centers

Postby hsmidy » Mon Nov 01, 2010 10:21 am

Hey

so im trying to get myself a set of ssr longchamp rims but having trubble finding them in the correct width.

so i thought maybe if i get another set of ssr rims in the same diameter would i be able to just swap the centers over or are the two outers different between wheels.

hope that made sence

Yeah in Auckland... :? unless the OP's location is wrong, that won't be much use.

Mixing and matching of wheels is doable, so long as the centres match the outers. Bolt spacing etc. People have used two inner sections to create some stupidly wide wheels. If that's what your asking anyway?

Pretty sure Champs are welded from the factory.

The bolts are for aesthetics.

In saying this you can cut them open but unless you want a 10j wheel you will need to buy wheels that are wider anyway so you may as well just run them.

Any old Japanese wheels are worth too much now.
