Wheelflip.com

Did a search to check that no one else has said anything about this place but didn't come up with anything! I came across this website today, www.wheelflip.com, they do everything with wheels, re-barrel, lip repair, powder coat, etc and you can buy/sell wheels too.
Just thought id share with everyone in case you need another place to shop around or get some work done!


btw it seems pretty new so there isnt much in the buy/sell section as of now!

ohh alright, we dont get much love out here in Colorado for car shops like you guys got so it takes a while for us to catch on haha.. but i would love to see that. i already love me some vs's but a deep lip would look prime; you got my vote!

one guy who has a g35 with some ssr sp3's had wheel flip actually reverse his rim so now he has the inner barrels on the outside it looks crazy and the lips are huge but hes running like -10 camber on a g35 to make them fit lol

they do good work from all the rims ive seen out here so if u do think of using them u will get a quality job done

I have my set of RE30s on there but it gets squashed back... can't even bump your post so in that sense it's pretty dumb. But speak to Alex at wheelflip, he does great work.

can you do it easy if they are 3 piece? there are literally 200 hundred bolts between all 4 rims that would have to come off that is a lot of damn work lol

They are easy..just time consuming..I have done a few 3 piece wheels.

Unbolt in a star pattern.

clean wheels..etc

clean each bolt..

Use a small amount of loctite on each bolt

Bolt up in a star pattern

Small bead of silicone, where lips meet. let sit for 24 hours.

A larger bead of silicone and let sit for 24 hours.

So ya easy, but time consuming lol
