How To Make Wide Wheels
Here,s a simple yet hard tut on making wide wheels
dificulty: 8/10 Things you will need: 1. Rims of your choice 2. mini torch, lighter, anything that makes fire (matches not a good idea) 3. hobby knife 4. metal xmod lug wrench or similar 5. patience http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...e/CIMG3058.jpg ok here we go. its a relativity easy at first we start by selecting a nice pair of wheels i chose the 08 GTR wheels http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...e/CIMG3059.jpg then cut the fake disk brake out (only required for barricade, bumble bee, GTR and Z06 wheels) http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...e/CIMG3060.jpg next take your torch/ lighter, and slowly heat the center of the rim, make sure to remove tire first http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...e/CIMG3060.jpg quickly grab your lug wrench and slowly push the center down, be sure not to move it out of the center or to one side, its alot harder to fix http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...e/CIMG3061.jpg if you have done this right, they should look kinda like this http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...e/CIMG3062.jpg http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...e/CIMG3063.jpg http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...e/CIMG3064.jpg be sure to hold pressure til the plastic has hardens after that you can paint them or just leave them how they are so here the before and after before wide http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...e/CIMG3066.jpg http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...e/CIMG3065.jpg after wide http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...e/CIMG3067.jpg http://i242.photobucket.com/albums/f...e/CIMG3068.jpg looks much better i hope this helps some guys, this is best done if you have multiple wheels one last thing, the plastic gets pretty hot, try not to burn yourselves thanks blue504life |
Not that big of change, but still good.
Just a note, if you dont remove your tire, it will get ruined. Just wanted to say that, even though you just did. Good mod.. |

yes do remove the tire, i forgot for the pics but you get the point |
pretty good idea personally i like the one where you cut the wheel in half but this is actually easier.But wouldn't this make the wheel more fragile?

not a clue, but theres only one way to find out |
but after you have done that the wheels are all bent

Not if your careful.

a nice idea
only thing i would add is put a spacer under the rim so when you pushe the centre all the rims have the same offset |
maybe you should make a rig that'll hold the wheel rim from bending or keep the heat away from the rim
|
after you did this did the wheel still balance or was it wobbely
|
that is a good thing you came up with this b/c i was going to try to make my own rims from strach i might do it any way but nice job man i am going to try this
|
Nice job, I think I may try this one in a few minutes and see how it works out. Great tut!!
