Where to buy work wheel faces/discs?

i basically got screwed by RB/VR wheels a while back when they sent me ONE work rezax wheel with the wrong offset.. ive emailed many times over many months and called a few times and they are basically ignoring me.. the transaction was a couple years ago and cant reverse anything on my CC..

so now that im basically on my own now, i need to see if anyone knows of any shops that sell JUST the faces/discs of used work wheels.. if i can find someone to sell me the right part # face i need, i can just disassemble/reassemble the wheel myself.. i just need to know if its gonna be possible..

thanks in advance..

I tried to replace the lips on my Racing Hart 3-piece wheels and basically was told you cannot just buy the lip. Went through Dazz and even contacted Work in Japan with the same response.

is the wheel sticking out to far or not far enough?

If it's too far out, you may want to consider calling up a few wheel repair shops or a CNC shop and they can mill down the inside of the hub on the rim to make it match the others.

If it's too far in, you could always get a spacer for it or get a custom one made by a CNC shop for a bit more and then painted/powdercoated so it matches the wheel.

not possible.. i need to swap out the faces because the one is a different style.. i can post pics like i have on other forums, but i KNOW that i need to change the face out and that modifying it is out of the question..

Seems like you might be better off trying to buy a new rim (if you can find it) rather than trying to buy the replacement piece. My only suggestion would be to try to contact Works US authorized dealer and try to get a rim from them. Im not sure but Options might be a good place to try, seeing as how they are a huge tuner shop in Japan. Good luck brother, and keep us filled in!

Contact rotiform directly. There's a lot of services not listed on their website...

Also, member RavSpec is an registered vendor on here. He is an authorized Work dealer iirc.

the rezax II like i have has been discontinued for years.. ive been in contact with work and they really cant help because they only sell new parts/wheels..

and the odds of finding one whole wheel is just about the same as just the face.. im talking to a few others on other forums and there are some people that have just random pieces like this to sell.. i just have to find the right parts..

ill email rotiform too.. i just went by what i saw on the site..

thanks..

Rezax 2

Hey Juice, sorry about the f%^k up!! That is just bad customer service. I think I have a lead! Check this guy on called "Cackywheels". I was searching for these rims for a while and I remember he had some 18 inch Rezax faces for sale. Keep our fingers crossed. Good luck, lmk.
