ta63-1uzze Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 So have been looking around and haven't had too much luck . Can people please inform me of the various places that sell new rim halves. I am looking at making my own custom set of rims with offsets to fit my car with flairs so they will be quite negative offset. So far the only place I have found is arrow wheels. And although they have been somewhat helpfull I think it always pays to shop Ideally I would prefer shops in Auckland or at least the North Island. Thanks guys , look forward to options , opinions, recommendations . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 2.3(9) would apply to you if you are making your own wheels. not throwing poo on your idea, but might pay to check it out if you want it to be legal http://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/standards/LVVTA_STD_Wheels_&_Tyres.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 most people get them off this dude. does up to 17" bands. from my experience, i would just get the bands off him and do the rest yourself or someone local http://www.41degreewheels.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan to modify an already existing center to fit the offsets I desire, any machining work would be done on a cnc machine , so would be done to a high standard off workmanship and accuracy . I wonder what would need to be inspected or tested to continue with this plan ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cletus Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I wonder what would need to be inspected or tested to continue with this plan ? if you email justin@lvvta.org.nz he could let you know what you would have to do, ie if your design has to be approved by the TAC, you might not need to if you are using some existing centers and fitting wider bands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sr1600 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 https://www.facebook.com/whitehorseindustries Apparently cheaper with the current exchange rate then 41 degrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsspeed Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Slightly late to this thread and I haven't read it all, but I recall some talk a while back about new outters for simmons 3 piece rims, I want to get some wider outers for mine, but was there some issue about getting them spun up?

ta63-1uzze Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 if you email justin@lvvta.org.nz he could let you know what you would have to do, ie if your design has to be approved by the TAC, you might not need to if you are using some existing centers and fitting wider bands as normal cletus you have shone through with some very helpful information, thank you for that, i will be pricing up the halves and once i have a game plan i will get a email away to Justin to make sure my plan is acceptable . https://www.facebook.com/whitehorseindustries Apparently cheaper with the current exchange rate then 41 degrees thank you sr1600 , i have just sent them a email via Facebook, hopefully they can beat the quote i have from arrow wheels, Slightly late to this thread and I haven't read it all, but I recall some talk a while back about new outters for simmons 3 piece rims, I want to get some wider outers for mine, but was there some issue about getting them spun up? not sure, i believe them to be an of the shelf item depending on the actual offset you require. my plan is to mill down some welded wheels, extract the center, mill it so its all tidy, grind it with the procession surface grinder to get it back to super lushness . then throw some halves at it with nice new bolts and that should be me all done and dusted.

beachlander Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Got some front lips done by 41degreewheels. Came out pretty good. I also had him polish the wheels, plus split them and drill the holes so it cost a bit more, but i think the lips were about 150 each by themselves.

ANT Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Just curious as to how long ago was this kurt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta63-1uzze Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 ok just for an up date, arrow want 15 inch halves $210 .with the precaution of inspecting my centres before hand , if he is happy with the quality of the build then ok to buy 41 degrees wheels wants $195 each half + 40 for powder coating or polishing each , and a cost of 20 for shipping up from well to Auckland. white horse industries, yet to reply . I am probably going to try and use arrow as they are in Auckland, as this makes my life easy if I need to actually go in and speak to someone. if anyone else have any leads to halves please let me know , I don't mind doing the shopping around : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ta63-1uzze Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 yeah I think so , I have been asking about 4 inch wide and 5.5 inch wide . its like 10 bucks difference between the 4 and the 5.5 . also this is per lip. so double it for each wheel for your inners and outers so a full let will be around the 2000 /2200 mark including gst and freight roughly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Looking at doing same thing in next 6 months. You aware of the % inner and outer lip you can have for certification requirements? Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz yup , sir cletus has posted this lovely bit of information . have had a good read of it, lots of information to sift through . http://www.lvvta.org.nz/documents/standards/LVVTA_STD_Wheels_&_Tyres.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta63-1uzze Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 update, white horse industries , actually very well priced, unknown as to weather or not they are polished etc 15 x 4 = $125 each 14x4.5 =$130 each 15x5.5 =$140 each this is Au $,which is good at the moment verses NZ$ , but then its plus shipping, and tax, so could end up cheaper. but probably not .
