Any knowledge?
7.5 inch wide +17 offset 7.5 inch wide +4 offset.
What will they be? Know of any places that would do this? I know they need to be resealed etc but wanted to know what the outcome could be offset wide
Cheers

Couple of guys on oldschool.co.nz forums have sucessfully flipped the centres in their J 3 pc rims!
Instead of resealing, one guy just used inner tubes.

Only things possibly stopping you is
A. The valve hole (easly fixed) B. Sometimes the outer rim dosent have as much clearance for the brakes, sometimes! C. Some weird design of wheel!
Most rims are sealed with RTV silicone tbh!

Also, a lot of Japanese rims are anodised but only on the outer rim so the inner bit goes all corroded and crappy. And some J 3 piece rims are actually welded together too but you'll clock that soon as the tyres are off if they are.
