micky boy Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Hi guys Dose anyone have any idear how to split enkei wheels? I have removed all the bolts/nuts but im haveing no luck splitting the rim! From what i can see there is a weld on the outside of the dish!!! Dose that weld have to be cut into for the rim to split?

LukeSR Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 If they are welded.. Then they are not split rims, looks like there just there for show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Addymk2 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 My old Blitz Techno Speeds were bolted and held together with some form of über glue. I whacked them in the oven for half an hour and they pretty much split with no force when they came out. Sure it's a weld and not a resin? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
