Default Wheels refinishing project.

Hi, does someone know a good site in U.S. or in canada that sells three piece wheel parts ? Or better yet if I could find a good used set.

I have 4 compotive ps701 that I would like to refinish for my 951 but the size is way to large. I would need 4x 17" 30 bolts outer lips. I'm not really sure what size I would need, I think they all have a 7" inner barrel, front are 10.5" and rear 12" if I measured them right. I would like to use 225s and 245s tires.

Could always ask these guys:

http://store.blackforestindustries.com/wheelparts1.html

Compotive isn't listed, but they have always gotten back to me quickly with random wheel questions.

Yep the stainless ARP ones are not cheap, IIRC somewhere on the website they talk about ARP making those specifically for Black Forest.

The standard chrome / gold BBS bolts are much more reasonable, and hopefully if you are rebuilding a wheel all 34 bolts (for a BBS wheel) are still in a good shape, or at least most of them.
