SPLIT RIM RESTORATION
SPLIT RIM RESTORATION PROCESS
At Wheel Fusion, we specialize in refurbishing split rims by separating, cleaning, and refinishing each component to your specifications. We offer powder coating, polishing, and painting for the rims and bolts, ensuring a flawless finish. Once completed, the wheel is carefully reassembled to factory standards, giving your split rims a fresh new look and enhanced performance.
2-PIECE SPLIT RIMS
2 piece split rims are the most popular form of split rim wheels. The wheel consists of a separate barrel and face, held together with multiple bolts.
These bolts are always fully cleaned during restoration. Alternatively we can supply replacement bolts to give the ultimate ‘new wheel’ look.
3-PIECE SPLIT RIMS
Once stripped and prepped, each wheels profile is mapped and programmed for machining using the markets latest computer-aided-manufacturing software. The program is developed to generate the tool paths that will precisely re-machine the wheel face, whilst retaining the original wheel profile. We Restore Alloys operate 3 HAAS CNC lathes across Scotland, all linked to our central server which allows instant accessibility to over 3000 wheel profiles from all three sites simultaneously.
IMITATION SPLIT RIMS
Also very popular are imitation split rims. These are single piece wheels with a series of false bolts to give the appearance of split rim alloys. Imitation split rims are popular as they offer the split rim look without the hefty price tag.
Imitation split rims typically use plastic false bolts. These cannot be restored but replacement Stainless Steel false bolts can be supplied from any We Restore Alloys facility.
