ronal lips??

[katanamit666]

Hey, I need some info on this and figured this was the best place for it.

I have a set of 3pc Ronal Gotti replicas, 15x8 front 15x10 rear.

the fronts have a ridiculous offset, essentially all backspacing, and I have to run spacers to get them where I want.

I talked to some people about buying barrels, etc and many said things like you will ruin your wheels, they wont be true, etc etc.

I see that you guys do it all the time, so if I want to buy new barrels for my ronal gotti centers, how would I do that? and how difficult is swapping them out? and how expensive would it be?

any help is much appreciated
thanks!

If they're knock-offs, they may or may not actually be three-piece, so if you haven't already, it might be worth seeing if they actually come apart.

Lips and barrels for Ronal wheels are available aftermarket. I believe Felgen Fuchs carries parts for Ronal wheels, and I'm sure others do as well. As to whether they will work with knockoffs, you'll need to know the number of bolts yours have, the bolt diameter, the the inner diameter you need for your lips and barrels, and the diameter of the bolt circle. One challenge with knockoff wheels is that these numbers do not always match up to what the real-deal wheels use.

If you can find lips and barrels that will work with the centers you have, the actual rebuilding process is straightforward.
