if its a 2 piece or 3 piece you can change it. You can order a wheel barrel online and drill holes to match your face holes for the 2 piece. for 3 piece rims just change the lip portion.

There is a vendor in the vendor classifieds that specializes in lip and barrel replacements. Contact them and ask. I am sure they would know better than anyone else. On another note, if you wheels are true 2/3 piece wheels, then you shouldn't have a problem. GL

i think those eurolines u are talking about are 3 piece welded. if u wanted to get bigger lips, u'd need to break the welds and reweld the new ones on

Your wheels are not held together by bolts. The only way to do it is sell and get another set for example SSR kreiss are real 3pc wheels

I agree not a fan of it, but for my first set of wheels, not a bad choice.

I've never understood why, even when new, that many (especially Japanese) multi-piece wheels are welded together. It just defeats the purpose of buying multi-piece wheels

Any links? I've only been able to find one, maybe two outlets. Doesn't seem to be much out there.
