Just flog em and get a set of 7j's. Splitting, cutting and welding alloy would be a massive process that would probably end up costing more than the wheels

Hi mate , I think Gonzo maybe right on this one it's not the replacing it's the price of the inner barrels just checked on eBay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/15-INCH-ALUMINIUM ... 1319wt_955. By the time you get 4 your talking £800 .."..
Good luck either way.".........

but...... when youve swapped yours, you'll be able to sell the old ones and recoup some of the cash youve spent on the new ones!
