Rebuilding multipiece wheels

[Heru-Farukon]

I'm planning on rebuilding a set of 2pcs to custom specs.

Does anyone know where to get barrels and lips locally?

Any help will be appreciated.


EDIT:
Taking the face off of the 2pc wheel and making it into a 3pc wheel with aftermarket barrels and lips

Not sure if anyone has them locally. Have your tried rotiform or mastermind in California? Crappy thing is our dollar sucks

Yeah that's mainly the reason why locally or at least within Canada.

I have not tried rotiform or mastermind yet. Only one I have luck getting a hold off was ccw but their sets will only match to ccw wheels

Let me know if you need some help. I know the guys at mastermind. Rotiform is ok to deal with, a little slow on communication unless you are dealing with Brian the boss.

Try Kodiac out in Langley. I *think* I bought lips from them for my BBS RS' (it was a long time ago).

Two piece wheels are built as a complete barrel and a center, so you can't just add bigger lips. Are you thinking 3 piece rims?

Also, Rotiform is now all being built and marketed by MHT. I don't think you can order directly anymore...

Sorry, I should have clarified, I'm taking the face from the 2pc wheel. And making them into a 3pc wheel instead.

And oh I didn't know they changed. I guess rotiform is out of the question now

It would help if you said what brand of wheel as well.. lots of places specialize in certain brands

Blitz type 01. The ones in the marketplace.
I may have one contact that I can use and has the specific pieces in stock.

But any more tips are welcome

Update on the thread.

I did get in touch with mastermind in the USA.

I attempted to contact Kodiak for help as well but did not get a reply. But I'm willing to attempt again since the dollar is extremely down the gutter.

Also I took apart one of the wheels the other day, well partly.
The wheels are 3pc wheels, not 2pc and that they are welded together.

I am gonna see if alBerta wheel repair can cut them out. But is it safe to assume the original barrels and lips can't not be reused afterwards.
