I've got some new to me but used 3-peice Keizer rims that are pretty awesome, and as a bonus I have 2 extra outer rim halves that can bump the width out a bit.
I'm a CSOB DIY 914 owner, and want to get out my torque wrench and power driver this weekend to take apart 2 rims and add the new halves. Is this OK to do or am I liable to fuch up the wheels in the process? Next ? - what should I use as the goop in the middle? Looks like clear silicone in there now. I've got my rear fenders out enough with the baseball bat roll for the 7" width with 205 Hooisers (AX). With the new halves I'll be at 7.5" and am crossing my fingers another few passes with the roller and heat gun will make it work in those rear fenders.

Nice Chris, those should help alot next season.
I will be running my 7" steelies, so your setup will be a bit lighter (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I have a brand new set of 710s for next season. Attached image(s) |
