Leon Hardiritt Barrels/Lips

I have a question that hopefully someone here can answer. My 18" Leon Hardiritt Waffes have 40 bolt barrel and lips. Are all Leon Hardiritts that are 18" 40 bolt? Im not completely happy with the specs, and it may actually be cheaper for me to buy another set of older LHs and just swap my face in the other barrel/lip. I just want to make sure before I bite the bullet and buy a whole nother set of wheels, just in case it doesnt work. Specifically, Im looking at some old Ritters right now. If someone has a set and can count them for me, that would help too.

Thanks!

chances are you can grab replacment lips cheaper than replacement wheels.

google for wheel pics and count bolt holes.

Yea Ive tried that but havent gotten a ton of good pics of the backs of the rims.

As for replacements, theyll cost me around 600 shipped for 2 lips. I can find Ritters for 800-900 shipped. What Ill do is flip the faces from rim to rim, and then as long as I can resell the Ritters for at least 300 Id break even on what I would have spent on new lips.

word, i'm looking at that possibility as well because i really want original lips. if i can't get em i'll just run spacers.

as far as bolt counting, if they're not all exposed i find a pic from as dead on as possible and lay it over itself and rotate in photoshop if i'm not sure.

Thats not a bad idea. What size are you looking for? Ive come across quite a few, and could maybe throw some links your way of stuff I find.
