Default Re: GTS smoked headlight / taillight covers...

Ok now im pissed evil.gif i just got my wheels and tires on tuesday and some freaking idiot desided to try and get into my lane and make me go into a hole in the road before seeing me and i bent the top part of my rim a little bit. there are no scratchs thankfully but its bent where the wheel is completely round at the edge. I am wondering is there any way to fix that like to bend it back the right way or will i just have to get a new one?

there are shops the specialize in the restoration and repair of alloy and aftermarket wheels. check your yellow pages, or go to a tire store and see if they can refer you to a place that fixes rims...

after running over a boulevard(long story, wanst my fault) my front rims got bent up pretty bad, i took them to a shop that did wheel straightening, only cost me $80 for both to get straightened, and thats in CDN.

oh and make sure your tire hasnt ruptured on the inside of the wheel, that happened to both my fronts when they got banged up.and id also be a good idea to get a wheel alignment,unless everything feels the same to you.

Everything feels fine to me. And the tire wasnt touched what so ever it was werid. Its not bad at all only a small part but unfortunatly its large enough where you can tell it. But thanx ill do that i will go by my place that i get my mods and everything and see if they know anyone cause they will hook me up smile.gif But thanx for the info. Hopefully it wont cost me that much but will be willing to pay it since the wheels cost me 1200.
