Well, it's finaly happened!!!!

[chrisjones6699]

......just curbed my wheel!!! I'm devastated! I've been so unbelievably careful since putting them on and then the most ridiculos NCP is Swansea just claimed my wheel!!!!

 

It's pretty minor but it's unacceptable! Any ideas how I can sort it myself? Fine sand paper to smooth it out and paint??

 

:(

Thanks for this guide mate, im not sure I can follow this guide though because of the wheels I have. I may have to get a professional to do it

[rtbiscuit]

someone like wicked wheels can do a repair for around £40

when i kerbed mine in a tiny way i cried for hours like a baby. got those alloygators on now, look ok actually and i feel far less stressed!!!

[rtbiscuit]

yep we fitted these the other weekend, look very minimal on your wheels. they make a big difference when it comes to curbing panic attacks.

 

you need to hurry up and get the pics up of this and a review, now you have driven on them for a week or so.

[Husky]

ive driven on them for one weekend dood, the car sits still all week. and the 2/3rds of a tank i used was on country roads getting her more grubby

[M13KYF]

on every good reason never to powder coat ya wheels So much harder/expensive to repair them

^^^ This. It's peanuts to get it done properly.

Did you fit these yourself or did you take them to the local tyre place? How much aggro to fit on a scale of 1 to 10?

he rang me up and got me to fit them

 

to be honest john did all the hard work, i just acted more as a consultative role. we did a good job, they are easy to fit, just take your time.

me and biscuit did mine, did half of them in the dark even. really simple, all you need is a rubber mallet and some garden secateurs <---(love google chrome spelling correction)

[glrnet]

Thanks guys, might look into these, I'm a bit concerned about driving something in between the tyre wall and the rim though!

as long as they are fitted properly there shouldn't be an issue.

[Husky]

have since got an 8mpg run in and they were fine so I think your safe

[glrnet]
