reseal 3 piece BBS wheels in NoVa

[mattn]

Anyone know a shop in Alexandria, VA that can take apart and reseal 3 piece BBS wheels. They are 9 and 11x15. I know most conventional wheel shops do not want to deal with these.
Thanks,
Matt

just do them yourself - its easy. un-bolt the center bolts, take apart and clean everything. re-assemble using silicon sealent from the hardware store. it would be a good idea to replace the bolts. you can get them from hoerr racing.

IMA Motorsports in Merrifield, VA is a good place but i agree with doing the work yourself being a good idea.

Definitely give it a try yourself Matt. Generally accepted torque values for the bolts are 14lbs and get some high quality silicone sealant designed for aluminum from lowes/HD etc. Clean the mating surfaces, bolt together and then a nice bead of silicone smoothed over with your finger over the part lines after you scotch brite the area where the silicone will be. It's best to have the tires removed first or at least have the beads broken for you.

Use a Permatex product called "The Right Stuff" instead of silicone to seal them back up. It's available at most automotive shops (Autozone, Pep Boys, etc.)

Thanks for all the replies. I have the bolts and some sealant. I just remember watching a shop have trouble putting them together, possibly due to the size of the tires. I may give it a shot next weekend.
Thanks again,
Matt
