beachlander Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 The pair Pine did for me was around 800. That included new bolts, them machining the lips off, assembly and re welding the lips after assembly, which was around 75 per wheel.

oldrx7 Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Yeh it's certainly not cheap. The 13" longchamps I'm gonna get widened (welded 3 piece) is gonna be around $1800-2000. That's prices from Pine and 41 degrees. That's me doing nothing but sending the wheels to either company, they provide the new lips (3 and 3.5"), re-welded, polishing / machining, new bolts and possible centre caps etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachlander Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Compared to buying wheels in those sizes from factory it's normally not bad at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Yeh, I guess the difference is i'm not wide-in-ing mine, they are just a bit rough/been fixed many times over the years. Wouldn't add much value to them for a decent outlay, so may be a bit silly to re-band them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBlades Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 http://pine-engineering.co.nz/collections/frontpage/products/lip-14 Gives you a good idea what new lips are worth plus what they charge for machining etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He quoted me $1240inc, but its probably worth getting them to do everything for $1440inc. The only down side is the freight to and from the SI. I remembered one of my rims is welded 3/4 of the way round on the inside of the outer lip, so welding/machining is not an option really, will have to bite the bullet and get them done.

siren676 Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 Does this really matter? would wof people know what has or hasn't been approved for road use?Probably not, think Pine puts the sticker on the inside of the barrel so it gets covered by the tyre anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 I was just surprised to be honest. As for if it matters, I doubt it will. Unless you have an off and the car is inspected by insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 That's a good point. I'll just pull the stickers off and hope for the best. Has to be safer than using wheels that keep cracking :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted October 10, 2016 Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Have had wheels with custom lips to make wider, be no good for cert due to bead hump being too small Can't remember who made them though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintage Grumble Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Yoza, I'm trying to organize having my wheels re-banded by Pine, but he doesn't have the step lip barrels my current rims have, and has offered a reverse lip. In the pic he sent me, the rim is so fucking shiny I cant tell what the shape actually is, its making my eyes go cray cray. Has anyone had a set redone by Pine with the reverse lip barrels? If so, would you be able to post up pics from different angles so I can try understand the shape? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
