splitting RK11's, done

[KADVR6 0]

i bough a set of these at the end of last year off coullstar but i wanna re-furb them and get them re-sprayed silver, does anyone know if i can split them with the tyre in place?? i cant see it being a problem?? just want to make sure before i start splitting them.

 

heres a pic of the type of BBS i'm talking about

 

 

cheers

just let the air out of the tyre otherwise should be straight forward. Also the valve comes through one of the bolt holes so make sure you undo it as its a hard to get hold of.

No need to take the tyre off. It's best to pop the beads off if you are going to polish the rim as it will give you more room to work. Don't forget to loctite the bolts when you put them back together :)

what colour are your brakes these days Karl? not sure white with polished lips would go that well imo but black centres against red calipers would be an obvious choice to continue the engine bay theme :cheers:

[KADVR6 0]

well the brembo's are going soon, but will be swapped for something different and the calipers will be black, even the r32 rocker cover is going black as i've got rid of my red recaro's and will be fitting my "new" scirroco seats when the cars back from stealth.

ah ok, well with black calipers the white could be good although i think i'd be tempted to paint the rims too in that case. just remember to carry a bucket of water around with you to keep cleaning them! :)

Enkei NT03+M in an 18 inch, nice light forged wheel used in the japanese touring car series (amongst other stuff)

 

You can get them in a 5x100 ET35 17inch 7.5 width. Silver, white, hyper black (look good on ur car) and white by special order. And they only weigh 7.9 kilos 8)

 

I was quite tempted myself but with the Yen and dollar exchange rate now it just isnt viable money wise :(

They have a big centre bore as well, so just need to reduce with some spiggot rings.

 

Damn I want some now! LOL

 

Sorry this has gone a little off topic...

about the RX's, i have decided on polished lip with a dark bronze center, thoughts!!
