Just had 1 of my wheels refurbed.and noticed when i called to the place he has split the wheel.

 

On asking him if this is usual he replied that this was the easiest way but 1st 2 piece rim he has had.

 

Whilst out with some mates last night and chatting about this one guy said make sure its gets put back together with silicone and torqued up correctly

 

Also make sure they were not stretched bolts!!

 

What should i ask him on my return?

 

The spare wheels i gave him have came up amazing and will remove the other 4 off my car to give to him but should i be concerned?

If they are 2 peice, then they won't need sealing as the rim itself will be one peice with the centre being another. So don't need to worry about sealing and the bolts should be ok to re-use as long as they are torqued up with threadlock. If they were 3-peice, then yes, new bolts are ideal and will require a seal.
