Would look epic on a certain Irmscher sprint kitted cabrio. :cool:
Seen this on a facbook page, most folk thought it was photoshop sadly,

It's not. There's a guy that turns loads of one piece wheels into splits.
Check Retro Rides.

Fantastic! I guess most folk thought they were too good to be true as there was no info or credit to their maker.
Woah! they are frigging awesome! Anyone got he link to the guys that makes them on RR??

Are they not just some carlton wheels?
Carlton CD or CDX I think,
My earlier post is wrong too they are 5x110
I was thinking about the monza wheels, I wanted monza gse wheels for my gte but doubt they will work as they are 5x120.
Ah i found a set i love from a Carlton, prob is they are et33... Or i'd have them on now!
If he makes up new barrels for the wheels and only uses the centre from the alloy donor then surley he can make the et to your spec?
Going by the pics on RR, he takes the front lip off only, then fits the polished lips...
Shame, that just increases the et then?
Edit that, might not. Looked at the pics again. Not sure, might message him...
