Hey Carl have you ever taken any 3-piece wheels apart? I'm thinking about going wider eventually...

Rims are ASA HS2, 15x7, 4x108mm, god only knows the offset.
fits perfect in the rear with 192/50 dumpster winter tires, needed 8mm spacers in the front to clear the springs. We bought these off of ebay from a guy in winnipeg who had them on a mustang, ive seen these rims on accords (lame 80's ones) and more recently on 3 series bimmers (possibly stock equipment, as the centercap said BMW and not ASA like the lame accord)
The fronts required longer studs (yay napa guy!) 'cause of the spacers
still need hub centric rings... and bigger brakes.

Epsilons. There are 20 bolts in each rims. I took mine apart to powdercoat the centers, Now I need to have the dismounted and take them apart. They have very slow leaks since I broke the seal between the inner and outer halves.


I need to find a pair of outer halves about an inch wider than the backs. Then I can put the rears on the front and fill out my fenders better all around.

they all look so nice. im still trying to figure out what size i should get. 15's or 16's. 15's look sweet and will sit lower than 16's. but 16's have more tire choice and fills more wheel well up on the rear. im lookin at 7in wide, but cant figure out the offset. another problem i will run into is that i will have 2 different bolt patterns. i will have 5x114.3 front and 4x114.3 rear.

ive search the forum and ran into a +40mm offset for the rear but have also seen someone put +28mm(?) its an -se rear axle. any help would be appreciated.

how did u guys decide on 15's or 16's?

(sorry for the thread jacking)

Yeah man...Ive taken apart a lot of epsilons. Youd be suprised how much hardware is in these wheels. 20 bolts, nuts, washers, etc, per wheel, its is a hunk of metal!!! It does take time to take them apart especially if they have been sitting outside for a long period of time. Your SSR Mk3's shouldnt be much of a hassle to take apart, looks like only 10 bolts. The thing you have to worry about, and make sure you do it right is seal the inner shell to the outer shell if you dissasamble the wheels completely. Let me know if I can help with this...Carl
