I see cars in magazines all of the time that have wheels with crazy negative offsets but i dont recall ever seeing any wheel companies offer wheel like that, or at least none of the wheel companies i know of.

who makes them?

im especially interested in smaller size deep dish wheels, such as 13x8's up to 15"

thanks?

 

well..tanabe owns ssr now but the mk and reverse/formula mesh series rims are still available.

there is also panasport, watanabe. too many to list. u can also take bbs rs and add lips to them like image or kodiak lips.

you can physically attach a lip that makes the wheel wider?

where can i find more about this?

 

When a wheel is a three piece wheel one can change part of the rim to make it wider and change the offset to a custom choice of their own. All while keeping the same face of the other rim. If you question a vendor I am sure you can be set up with some custom rims. Ask about the offset range of the wheels in question.

look up kodiak race wheels on google or check out vwvortex.

 

awesome. thanks for the info guys. i never knew that wheels worked that.

now, when you say that you can simply change the offset, are we talking about welding and stuff or does it all bolt together?

 

it should just bolt together.

 

ok,

i just spent a few hours reading up on this stuff. i guess i never knew what people were talking about when they said 3 piece wheels.

i wonder if anyone makes a "kit" where you can just order several back pieces and lip pieces to try out different combinations and then have them make your finished version.

 

join vw vortex forums. they have members there that are nuts for their wheels. i am nuts about wheels but not like them
