Re: 3 piece wheel bands

Personally i dont recommend widening alloy wheels via welding, as the composite of the alloy will never match 100% the weld, and will create a weak point in either the weld or the fusion point of the weld to parent material With 3 piece rims id look at finding some 3 piece blanks that can bee drille...
