mugen_power Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Hey guys, Has anyone split Racing Hart CR's and refurbished them themselves? I've got a few weeks off work and I fancy a project and really want to refurb my wheels, they're not polished or anything currently they just have a flat painted finish. Is this likely to be possible myself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Are racing harts split-able? im sure i read somewhere that they are just designed to look like split rims/2-3 piece but actually they are 1 piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk4Gaz Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Pretty sure they're not true split rims, speak to benjy on here, as he had some that he was going to get refurbed If you want the lips polished, Rob mitchell is the man to talk to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprano Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 Sounds like a sweet project I took 7 hours a wheel on my old fake split axis wheels and had the lips likes mirrors arm yourself with lots of sandpaper from 80 right up to 2000 and a tube of autosol and a six pack of elbow grease and get on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugen_power Posted March 31, 2015 Author Share Posted March 31, 2015 Well this was going to be my next question, what the hell are they?! I've searched a lot online and can't really find an answer, some say they're 2 piece, some say they're 3 piece, some say they're 1 piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 They look like a two piece wheel but photos i've seen show the centre section is welded to the outer lips Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 The last photo on this guys advert shows the weld http://www.e46fanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=845127 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugen_power Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 Thanks DNK, I think the best thing to do then is whip one of mine off tomorrow and see if it has the same weld as those pictures Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkddav3 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Whiffin on here had some racing hart 5 spokes like the ones of the original fnf supra for sale. Wheels had been on a car that had been binned. Was gunna buy them to refurb and have as a spears set until it was found they are originally welded together from the factory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mugen_power Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Yeah so these definitely are welded from behind, damn was thinking it would be easier to refurb myself if I could split them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
