All forged 3 piece wheels They are called DPE wheels at dpengineering.cc R05 Variant S wheels Image Unavailable, Please Login
Just going from pic, but I do not think those are true 3 piece wheels. Wheel centers are separate from rim halves in 3 piece, does not appear so in your pic, at least from what I can see.
You are right..they are 2 piece. There 3 piece process will begin in a matter of weeks. What's the advantage or benefits between 2 or 3?
The advantages of multi piece wheels is that you can repair a bent rim half without replacing the whole wheel. (Although wheel repair technology is gaining ground all the time and may eventually make this argument moot.) So three piece offers the possiblity of just replacing 1/2 of the rim,i.e. pothole damage to inside only. If you like full polish wheels, multipiece rims are also easier to refinish/repolish. One disadvantage is weight. The bolts alone can weigh 3 to 4 lbs if they are stainless and titamium bolts are very expensive. Some folks also just prefer the look of the multi piece rim.
there's the outer "rim" and then the center "hub". those make up two pieces. when the rim portion becomes too wide to spin up in manufacturing, the rim piece is actually two pieces, mated with a weld all the way around. that gives you three pieces as opposed to two pieces.
Please keep the standard wheels, you cannot improve on perfection, look at these and tell me that they are better than the standard wheels.
Top left one's not bad, but the rest...well, ahem, let's just say they look aesthetically challenged on the 360. Stock rocks!
I agree! These are absolutely beautiful, and probably the only exception I would make to the stock wheels, which I find remarkably beautiful. I tried the website (www.fotango.com), though, and it takes me an online photo site. What's the real site. (.net, .org, .it) don't seem to work either?
