ARE Wheel Barrel replacements

I have a set of 15x7 ARE 398s, I was told I can swap to 16? barrels and just swap the centers out...Anybody know where I might source a set of 16x?

Thanks in advance

Bump.

BTW, you can swap BBS parts over to your ARE. I'd grab a used BBS barrel on Ebay and use that. You don't have to aim for ARE specific barrels.

Perfect! I wasn't aware of that, wasn't sure barrel holes would line up properly, I may do just that!

So can you make a 2 piece wheel (what I have) and take the face off to work on a 3 piece style?

You can do anything with enough money. Wheelflip will make lips and barrels for any wheel face that you can find. Some of the more common ones are listed on their website but if you send them the measurements they can do anything for around $200 per piece.

16" 398s come up for sale pretty often though. Probably much cheaper/easier to just pick up another set. I bought some 16x9.5 for like $300 once.

Exactly, keep an eye on the SW classifieds, on Ebay and other similar sites and you'll find something.
