Multi Piece rim input. (swapping barrels etc)

Came across a insane deal on some 3pc vellanorims... currently they are 20x9 all around... i know lol...
Also they are off an Audi A4 I believe... is the hub same?
Wondering, is it quite a bit of work to change 2 of them to a 20x10/10.5 or 11" ? Obviously want the staggered look and a deep rear lip.

Any suggestions? Rough cost? Thinking of harassing B Gorman... but hes probably sick of my rim questions by now lol

Cheers

There is a place called Wheel Flip down in Santa Fe Springs that specializes in what you're looking for. Give them a call.

I think most Audis are 57mm hubs except for some very recent models that are now 66mm. So, you will need to check with seller to confirm. Also, some wheel mfrs make large 70mm+ bores and supply them with rings to fit several vehicle types.

Probably not worth it unless you can get away with swapping out just the outer lips ~$500.

Also, you may need the centerbores done.

Hmmm they are 20x9 now, making them 20x10 or 11 but swap the out lip... wonder if it can be done. Contacted Vellano... they are more useless than anything.

I did this to my wheels. I widened them from 20x9 and 20x11 to 10.5 and 12. They were from a 230 and the offset worked to my favor to add on to the inner barrels. Its actually a simple job if all you want to do is add on to the inner or outer barrel. I got wider inner barrels from a company in Florida for around $250 each. surprisingly excellent service too. I will pm there number when I find it. unbolt the 3 pieces, clean off the old silicone, reassemble and torque in a star pattern, apply silicone in the groove. The hubs will need to be machined as well if they are hubcentric Audi wheels. as said before, there hubs are smaller. I'll post pix later of my wheel project when I'm home
