Steel Rim's can just be bashed back into shape with a Hammer :)

I got mine repaired at Wheel Revolution
around $100. They are a bit slack and expect to be without your rim for a good month or so and I had to hassle them a lot but they do a good job and are cheap. They will tell you straight up if they can't fix it. last edited by Dodgymon at 20:06:53 07/Aug/08 |

Money talks.
Ring them and ask them to do it as a priority and say u don't care paying extra. But I can tell you know they are a bunch of slack c**** and they do get a lot of work because not many people do it. |

My mechanics snapped two of the wheel covers on my old car that I was trying to sell when they were cleaning them. They just took all four of them off and shoved them into my boot, so now everything inside is covered in grease. They might have been just wheel covers, but they still broke them, which they would have had to have used a decent amount of force to do it just "cleaning" them. Car people suck.

Yea, well I figure since I'm trying to sell the car I couldn't be assed replacing them with anything special, so just bought $20 wheel covers on special from super cheap lols.

That was the general implication.
Dont worry, I said the same thing about someone here when they took out the Giveway sign. |

i can't but just one cause they don't make the wheels anymore so i had to get 2 new rims. i will be calling up the f*** head and giving him a serve and get him to pay for 1 of them.
i took the rim to albion wheel repairs and they recon if he didn't hit it then they could have fixed it up easily. it still can get repaired but it will still be a dodgy wheel. hey glen is your car a 4 stud? wanna buy 2 18" rims and wheels with 70% tread? |

Well, if he cant even avoid median strips...
Beside, this is more my style: http://s.grattan.googlepages.com/jeep_sand.jpg http://s.grattan.googlepages.com/Jeep_water.jpg I have absolutely no problem with people drifting at places where it's set up for that stuff. Race courses, someones back paddock, event areas and the rest. Keep it off the roads. |

I think Glen meant the ripple strips on a racetrack not on the road. And that photo looks like its from some event too.

haha thanks existence :D yeah i was referring to the ripple strips at queensland raceway. they are huge but not just that the dirt they lead on to is washed out so there are big pot holes around the ripple strips.
thats how i bent my last rim. i sent it to chris at wheel revolution after i hit out the buckle my self with a soft hammer. wheel revolution's machined the lip back , re-welded it and polished it. then resealed the 3 piece seal. all for $180 took them 3 months 2 do this mind you and constant calls to remind them but they did a good job. and mic i just got new rims and yes i do have 4 stud. thanks for the offer none the less. |
