2 piece welded iforged 19's, can i cut and turn into 3 piece safely?

well pretty much i picked up a set of iforged 19's for really cheap... fronts are 8.5 and rears are 10.5 but offset is weak and one of the rear lip is bent.

these are welded 2 piece wheels. i want to convert them to 3 piece wheels.. i called wheelflip and ask if they do it and was told that it is not safe convert welded 2 piece to true 3 piece wheels..

is this true? they told me it has to do with the flange

Just depends on if they removed a flange on one half before welding. If its just 2 full halves, then it can be cut and returned to a 3pc wheel. it will require the right tools / steady hand to get a clean cut tho ;)

if the face is not welded to the barrel you can send it off to iforge to have them rebarrel them.
