JetSet Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Caroline was forced into the kerb by a boy racer who didn't give way to her, now got some major damage to the outer lip of the front nearside wheel. Only had them refurbed in April as well Almost 50% of the outer rim has damage Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Eeeek! Thats kack mate. Is the outer lip polished on those rims too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexx Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 I dont mean to be rude, but that is not what I would describe as "major". They look like split rims, so I am guessing £80 ish for a refurb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Not looking too far off some new rubber too by the looks of it - save on fitting and have the new tyres ready for the refurb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look like split rims, so I am guessing £80 ish for a refurb? Never had anything more than a couple of inches of kerbing before so it looked pretty major to me , the worst of it is out of shot where there are a few smallish lumps missing, don't have the keys to move the car to get a proper picture though. The rims are just normal, those are dummy bolts and when they were refurbed back in April it cost £40 plus VAT per wheel, so not too bad.

Other than the fact that the tyres are Nankangs there's still plenty of life left in them...about 7mms sadly, they must be rock hard .

Will370z Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Ouch, knowing how much you both look after your cars you must both be gutted. Guess it's back to the refurb place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
