Chris Madayag I agree! I'm a machinist, and I just did a silicone implant on my girlfriend! BUILT, NOT BOUGHT!!!! (Irony may occur)

YETI 16 BOUGHT Then BUILT

+Nutguy95 i have a set of wheels i like a lot in a RWD roadster but they are 17x8J all around, i recently bought a new staggered set 17x7.5 & 17x10, now that i have a brand new staggered set i will definitely widen my old wheels nad keep them for reserves

Nutguy95 tell me how it's unsafe. I can see maybe drifting with them. But you should definitely consider how wide they are going to be. But I mean they make offsets. So why in the hell is this dangerous. Also dragsters are going one way, straight. That's it nothing more. Someone didn't take physics lol. I agree buddy. Those are the ones that think they know it all and are on a damn high horse

Jeremiah Arnold there's a difference between hot rods and dragsters but ok

Ayyy lmao where in there did I say hot rods? And tell me. Usually hot rods are for drag. Ya know, power. Not these fucking ricers. But what would u do with a muscle car? Do u honestly think it's safe to put it on a closed circuit track?

Jeremiah Arnold dude. Nutguy spoke about hot rods. And not everyone who has a hotrod uses it for the strip only

I've got some widened steel rims and they're fine, all depends on the skill of the operator.

+Roman Dybala Exactly my thoughts

ikr!

Roman Dybala this is most professional yet i have seen way worse hackjobs done before.

Roman Dybala whats a balancer and a dial gauge do?

+Joacim Lethenström Yes, for a Volvo 740 masuli.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Volvo+740/2013/130716-3.jpg/_full.jpg

+Masuli great looking car !

+Masuli is it true that it is really difficult to get coil overs for volvo's ?

there dosent even exist coilovers in sweden that are bolt on what i now

+swedish minion yes it does

There not made for speeds over 40 lol, i never go fast with any advanced steelies, LOW AND SLOW is the way to go lol,

i don't run them. if a wheel manufacturer doesn't make them, i don't run them.

william webster You don't trust a steel wheel, but you'll trust an aluminum wheel?

sitting the wheel in water while you weld....luckly you didn't die and it would be better to let the wheel cool by itself you get less distortion

kept the heat way down. i was young and stupid then.

From a t5?

@@3finnian x3

Then spend a day removing the spatter ... why cant you roll and weld free hand and still get a decent even weld seam ..oh I forgot you can't weld. welded must be a million miles of weld on cylindrical parts and rarely used a manipulator or rolls. And always perfect continual welds.. Oh I forgot I am a welder .

ULTIM8STUCH Can't tell if you're upset at me. I'm not saying he can't do it free hand I was simply saying with the use of the lathe it would of made it easier and faster to weld. Clean up would of been the same either way. And I myself also weld and know my way, so good job, glad to hear you can weld perfectly.

only problem that would happen here is if he did strait welding without spreading his heat properly between both sides

ULTIM8STUCH Dude you’re a straight up agro piece of shit.

@@LifesAbe-ach twat

haha definitely!! I was gonna stretch some steelies to 14" so I can throw em on my twin turbo powerstroke Cummins

check out diamond racing rims.

I've seen them , like its called they do look like a racing rim , I'd love to do what they did in the video and take stock steelies widen them 3" for the rear and 2" in the front , than paint em white

Diamonds are basically just deep dish steelies

Very similar to aero , I still like the look of stock steelies I guess you would call them that , oem ,

Oem + Or, oem plus ;)

If the steel they used is the same, than the one used on the wheelies and then if the welding is done like it should then it's going to be as strong as it needs to be, depends on the skill level of the person doing this.

I could see that but still kinda sketchy

I had 14" wide 15" tall steelies with 38" tires under my Land Cruiser, never had any problems of any kind. I know of guys running 20" wide wheels with 49" and 54" tires under fullsize trucks like F350 and HD3500. Those are street legal rigs and driven hard off road, so they get used at 60-70 mph and in extreme off road conditions. Those wheels are widened in basically the same way, so I'm sure they'll hold fine under a Civic or little sportscar, as long as the welds are good.

This video maker said in comments that he does welding as his work, so we can suppose that he knows how to make strong weld joint. And Finlands maximium speed is 120kph (75mph) at summer and 100kph (62mph) at winter, so speeds are not so high at here. Of course those rims are illegal and you might get ticket from police and you will fail MOT test if you go there widened steelies on your ride. There is company named Vannepaja (check vannepaja.fi) in Finland which makes modded steelies to show cars. If I would use modded steelies, I would drive way under speedlimits just for extra safety.

I've seen dozens of factory and aftermarket wheels fail, break, bent and out of round. People drive around in without a care in the world. Factory steelies are usually spot welded together. Jeepers and desert runners have been doing the widened steelies for decades.

What the F do you think lol.

Cleveland, Chattanooga, Calhoun Georgia there's ppl everywhere

welding wheels are illegal in quebec..so as streched tires..they passed a new law everyone running them gets their car impounded untill they change wheels and pass an inspection...

+Vega-Expert So how do you go about changing the wheels for correct ones if your car is impounded?

Before installing under car they were balanced properly

zeds dead remix

THANK YOU

+Florian Reich THX :)

+dj7310 Also to check the runout

+dj7310 Too much heat in one area may warp the metal and make it off balance. Also, I don't think weld splatter is a good thing to have on the ways of a lathe.

+Micah Montoya Good point I never thought about the spatter.

thats what weights are for

even from the factory they are never balanced so no big deal there.

You could spin the wheel on the balancer, and mark the light spot (on the outside surface, of course, which will be hidden by the tire) with crayon, and the weight that it needs in that spot. Then you simply get the mig welder and add a bead of weld on the light spot. You'll get it pretty close to zero balance. Then put the wheel back on the balancer and use a grinder to remove smaller amounts of steel as you get it exactly to zero.

***** ok

They went on 740

+Daniel Tobias Nielsen They were 15" with 25 offset

thank you.

Great job by the way. ;)

We've tried it on a corolla already, it looks good.

+Pasta Sarmonella E-Specialé They were welded all around the wheel, I just didn't get that to camera. You can see it from here masuli.kuvat.fi/kuvat/Volvo%20740/vanne-220312-1.jpg/_full.jpg I drove about over 25000 km with those wheels without any kind of problems

That looks well done
