Ronal / ACT SX split rim refurb
Having built a few sets of split rims, this is my new project.., thought I would start a thread incase anyone wants to do there own and use it as a reference.. It's not that hard to do..
These are a what can be achieved (my first 3 sets done a few years back)
Speed lines
BBS RS
Compomotive Dage Fuch
These are the Ronal / ACT SX
I found 4 off in 8.5x18 et13, and then 2 more 9.5x18 et18 so 6 wheels to do, which works out well as I can swap them between my VW T5 and the Z4 as they are the same PCD
I need to source a couple of different barrels and possibly 2 dishes which are available from Germany Felgendefuch (great place for split rim spares), hoping to end up with
2 off 9.5x18 et around 30 / 3" dish - Rear z4 / Rear T5
2 off 9.5x18 et 35-40 2.5" Dish - Front T5
2 off 8.5 or 9x18 et35ish - 1.5/2" dish Front T5

Re: Ronal / ACT SX split rim refurb
First job is to get the centres over to TT Tools to have the rear faces milled down to increase the offset,
Mine have a lot of meat in the bolt holes compared to et40 centres so will be turned down some
Et 40 wheels
Mine
The rim bolts are soaking in vinegar now the help clean them up for a few day
That's as far as I am at present, will update the thread as I go along (if anyone is interested )

+1 on what Beedub said!
Shame there aren't enough Z4s on multi-piece wheels out there!
Please keep posting updates!

Re: Ronal / ACT SX split rim refurb
Had an early start today , on the road at 6am to get over to Chelmsford to see the lads at TT Tools, they machined my faces on the rear pads to get them to a higher offset taking 18mm off the rear face, also got 4mm taken off my 19's whilst there. Can't recommend these guys enough for wheel modification .
