14" into 16" alloy wheels

[@Bawkr]

This is cool. Could go from 13s to 15s and wider on 70s celica. Will be steel so it can be done with less expensive equipment. Course you want to test your welds etc. take all the precautions before rolling out with them.

[@the_bearded_backyard_engineer]

@Bawkr sorry no, I've tried steels before, and they are way to much hassle to get true....aluminuim wheels have a thickness where they fit together like lego, where as steels, that ain't even usually totally round straight out of the bat, it's almost impossible to line them up 100% true

[@Bawkr]

@@the_bearded_backyard_engineer I'm going to give it a shot but I'll follow the steel videos on it. Course for the 13 to 15 part I will have to improvise as I only see widening done but I do know that people have liped these wheels however it was probably a business that does it often.

[@the_bearded_backyard_engineer]

@Bawkr OK, what you are going to have to do is take your 13" wheel, and cut it off just above the slopping angle, then take your 15" wheel and cut it off just below the sloping angle, then chuck the wheel on your lathe, and turn your cut into true, then put your 15" section onto your faceplate, and bore it so the ID is the same as the new OD on your wheel, then somehow line your 2 pieces together and weld your new join.....then repeat for the rear section. Once you have your 3 pieces together you can then decide how and where to ""band" to get the ET and the width you want

Hey pawl love your work. I have som Porsche telephone dial rims that need to convert to centerpiece of the tree peace rim how much would that cost me? Regards

[@the_bearded_backyard_engineer]

Sorry guy, retired now

[@jamesmccray2930]

How much does something like this cost?

[@the_bearded_backyard_engineer]

£200 labour per wheel

Do you offer this as a service? Would like some Sierra 14" (5.5Jx14) pepper pots turned into 7Jx16.

[@the_bearded_backyard_engineer]

I would need to know the ET you would need

[@SB-vb8ch]

@@the_bearded_backyard_engineer Hi, the 5.5Jx14 wheels are ET41 but are way too inset for my liking! With a 7J rim offset would ideally be around ET20 to ET30. Do you have direct contact details?

[@the_bearded_backyard_engineer]

@@SB-vb8ch I'd need a wheel to experiment with, [e-mail]

Hi Pawl, Isn't it better to be welded? It's a great mod! It looks great!

[@the_bearded_backyard_engineer]

As well as.. Yes
