Changing rim width/offset

[DC4Integra98]

Has anyone done this to their 3 pc rims before? The costs involved - is it worth it?

I have two sets of 3pc rims that are of ordinary offsets and am currently looking at changing the lips on them to make a better offset/width.

Taking them apart sort of like this:

I've did a 2 Pc (BBS LM) just recently, and i gotta say even tho it being 2 Pc (does not require reseal) you gotta be prepared to do the hard yards. stuff like cleaning the bolts + nuts, the rim resealing etc takes alot of time.

I reckon if you have the tools for it already like torque wrenchs, loctite 242/243, the snap ons. then yeah go for it not much than just a couple of weekends.

yep had a look at some guides and asked a few mates on how they did it.

A friend recently did his:

Damn that's cool, so you can just keep changing it with all these different lips and stuff? Nice to know they can come apart and have a nice clean :)
