Where to buy a rim for a 2 piece wheel?

Redstar · 08-12-2008, 01:29 PM

Trying to get a new rim for a set of SSR 2 piece wheels I have. I can't seem to find a site that sells just the rims for 2 piece wheels. Checked the manufacturer's site first, nothing. Google was no help either.

Usually you can't buy just the barrel for a 2 piece rim.

Typically when made the center and the rim barrel are separate, the barrel is heated and the center is inserted and welded in, never to be removed again.

3 piece wheels are a different story because the inner barrel and outer barrel are bolted to the center, allowing replacement of one half or both.

hth,

Thanks for the response. The wheels in question are an oldish SSR model similar to the SSR professor. They are a two piece, but are only bolted together. The center section bolts onto the rim hoop. I was hoping to be able to replace the one bent rim with a new barrel but its not looking so good...

Do you know of a place that sells 2 or 3 piece rim barrels?
