eBay feedback is a bitch. :yes:

Hi Alex,

Hope you got a few bolts to solve the problem.

Thanks for the info.

I would like to ask what is the difference between the two-split and three-split?

And on what cars were they respectively?

 

On my set they are amde of a big inner rim and a bolted on outer polished rim, with nuts and bolts, plus a forges center cap and on top the carbon ring.

They are 17"*8,5" and 18"*10" produced in 1998.

 

Edit:: I am not sure if theya re not 3-split. They may be bolted all three under the sealant?

So, how can I find out?

 

Kind regards,

Jacques.

Sounds like you have the oz futures they are 3 piece rims you can dismantle them to find out but I wouldn't unless they need refurbishing .

The difference between a 2 piece and a three piece is the two usually has the back barrel and the spokes joined and the lip the outer edge you see more of is bolted to the back barrel. A 3 piece as the barrel spoke and lip all separate . And they all come apart if un bolted
