Vossen CV1 Lip unrepairable?
#4
I hope mine can at least be reshapped a little, but everything i have heard and read is that vossen uses a thin chromed stainless steel sort of cover that is perminantly pressed on the lip and it can't be repaired
Has anyone had any repairs done on a one piece vossen or similar wheel with the pressed on lip?

I have PM'd Jav from Vossen directly about a possible repair of the lip on my VVS-078's and he said the only thing that can be done is take the stainless cover off. This doesn't sound bad but I still have yet to see what it looks like under. It may not look as nice.

I was talking more about the shape of the lip. I wouldn't take it off if it wasn't a rolled lip like the cover. I just wouldn't like having a lip that has weird angles and such.

This post is a bit old, but i was searching through the net to find the answer to the question brought up about whats beneath the vossen stainless steel lip..
In summary, it looked fine underneath my Vossen VVS-078 minus a little paint chipping.
I've posted my findings on the Audiforums.com website along with photos.

They should be black like the rest of the rim.
manufacturers usually finish the entire wheel and add the stainless sleep lips at the end. It doesn't make sense to clear or mask and takes a lot of time for them, so once the wheel is completely clear coated and looking pretty they add the stainless steel lip.
