Let Snipers FabShop lighten your rims

Let Snipers Fab Shop lighten up your aluminum rims.
Here is a set of SLW's that had 7 grams taken off
Still retains all its strength, and no gluing on tires to save weight

Any brand, we can get as aggressive as you want to shave some weight.

$6.00/rim

Can you narrow rims as well?

[sniper]

Yes, but would be an added cost.

Have you worked on any Evo's yet?

[sniper]

I got an after of 23g, i did not get a before, thought it was on the VP website, but no luck for a bare rim.

Bare wheels / rims
VP SLW V1 1" = 34g
VP SLW V1 1.35" = 42.5g

Very nice work on the V4's!!!

[chicklet]

So if my math serves me correct, here are the calculations on the V4's (per McTwist's bare V1 wheel). According to VP's site, the V1/V4 both weigh 1.9oz (with hardware).

Bare 1" V4 wheel = 34g (1.1993oz.)

After Sniper = 25g (0.8818oz.)

Savings per wheel = 9g (0.3175oz)

Total weight loss for the set of 4 = 36g (1.27oz)

So thats like cutting one entire wheel out of the equation!
