3-piece rim help
I don't really understand what it really mean 3-piece rims. My understanding is 3 pieces are made separately then put it together into making one rim? Please correct me I'm wrong.. If my understanding is right, i wanna get a this used rim from a place, and he say it 3-piece. The only bad side is that the lip of the rim has lots of scratches. So i was wondering if i can replace that lip or someone can tell me a place to replace the lip.

Yes, it is 3 pieces that are bolted together to make one wheel. If you have pictures of the curb rash, post them up. A wheel repair shop would probably be able to fix without having to disassemble the wheel (extra $$). I don't think you need to replace the outer barrel unless it was damaged beyond repair. Curb rash usually doesn't qualify as "unfixable."
