Default iforged rims

theres a set of iforged polished seneka s on the parts section for sale. however the sizes are 17 x 8 (front) and 17 x 10 (rear) id like to get them but dont like going down to a 17 on the rear. is there anyway iforge can change the outer rim to give you an 18 (i dont think so but maybe). they look like great rims but i dont like that size. does anyone run theses sizes? thanx brad

Nope...to size them to a new diameter would require a new center section, new barrel, and new lip.

A 3pc. wheel is comprised of the center section, inner barrel, and lip. Those 3 pcs are bolted together.

The only thing left that could be reused would be the fasteners and valvestem....and they cost less than what you'd pay to ship the wheels to them.

They do not reuse the fasteners or the valvestem. Once the bolts are torqued, they can not and should not be reused.

No way to change a 17 to an 18 that I know of.

Nope, you can't change them. You'd have to order new 18s if you wanted that size in the rear.
