Default 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



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





then cut the fake disk brake out (only required for barricade, bumble bee, GTR and Z06 wheels)





next take your torch/ lighter, and slowly heat the center of the rim, make sure to remove tire first





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





if you have done this right, they should look kinda like this







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






after wide






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
