Re: Converting metrics to 17 help?
You can't convert one piece wheels.
They are ALWAYS rustier than you thought!!!!!!

I realize you cant convert single piece but I am just following up on stuff
Re: Converting metrics to 17 help?
ONLY if you've got 3 piece wheels to start with.griffo wrote:...so who on here told me I can do something to them to make them triple step 17s?ron wrote:You can't convert one piece wheels.
YOU CANNOT CONVERT SINGLE PIECE METRIC WHEELS to anything other than single piece metric wheels!!!

It has been done, but isn't likely worth the effort, at least IMO:

$200, what's $200. You're not meaning the 415's are you?
Fancy hose reel maybe, other than that---useless.

Re: Converting metrics to 17 help?
3 piece are prob worth something as they can be metricsized (expensively). With the 1 piece prob just worth hanging onto them as they may get desirable as they become more rare.
Happy to take them off your hands for the value of the centres as stated prob $150-200. Otherwise the tables or perhaps a nice coffee table in the lounge room.
