Im told they are 3 peice Elbe racing wheels, anyone got anymore info? I've googled it but got nothing related!??!?!?!? excuse the quality Thanks, Elie
i know, me neither?? they look like BBS to me, but with the silver circumfrence... i dunno, well... what do people think of these wheels? and what does 2 piece, 3 piece etc mean?
Not sure what the wheels are (there can be sooo many copies out there) But single piece, 2-piece and 3-piece wheels are how they sound. Most wheels are made in a mould, and are just a single piece (plus tyre) generally more expensive wheels can be produced in two or more parts. Some wheels are designed to look like 2/3 piece wheels....at the end of the day there are a few reasons why they are made like that, but the main part I know of is that each part can be replaced separately. So if you damage the rim, you dont have to change the spokes etc...someone might be able to explain the other advantages foryou as well Cheers, Andrew p.s. is this a closeup of your new car?
WORK VSXX in Gold... 3 Piece Modular VERY expensive These have been on my wishlist for a long time... Here is a link to the webpage for you: http://www.work-wheels.com.au/wheels/work_vs_xx.htm
Kr4usy: thanks for the info champ, and yes that is a closeup of my new car. taking a while to actually get my hands on it though, going through road worthy. Im praying ill pik up tomorrow and ill have a full set of piks up for everyone!!
all good... why dont you give them a call and find out, i wouldn't mind knowing either as james mentioned, i would guess $1000+ per rim, depending on what width your after mate!
this should give you an idea anyway if you don't want to call them! http://www.upgrademotoring.com/wheels/work_vsxx.htm prices are in USD... so add around 25% to get AUD. Hello Dish :biggrin:
another reason behind have 2/3 piece wheels is it allows the rim to flex a little, especially usefull for racing.
have a look at the showwheels website, they do that sort of thing too! showwheels.com just browse, i found it before, but some bastard (probably me) closed the page.
I found the same set yesterday on sale for about 2000 or less. I'll try and find them. :edit: No luck, it was somewhere on the nissansilvia forums. (It's too big!)
