Dat260 Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 Hi guys, What is the difference between 2 piece and 3 piece wheels. I know with the 3 piece wheel you can exchange the two shells (inner/outer) to get different widths. Can a 2 piece wheels have its shells interchange for different widths also?

260DET Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Two piece usually consist of the rim with a flange which is used to attach the rim to the center. In my limited experience, alterations to wheels is an expensive business though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastzcars Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 I would suggest to contact the seller and get the manufacture name and check to see if they have a website.They normally would have the info your looking for, Otherwise as far as I know 2 pc wheels either have the outer wheel made with the center removeable to change the bolt pattern. But it really is dependent on the manufaturer. BBS makes 2 pc with the outer and the center in one piece and the change the inner rim half to changed the inside offset. But to make sure you should try to get the seller to get you that info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsquared Posted June 20, 2005 Share Posted June 20, 2005 Changing barrels on a 2-piece wheel shouldn't be that much different or more expensive than changing barrels on a 3-piece wheel... then again I've never actually done either and I'm just speculating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
