mother fuckers !!!
no shit, what does he do to fix them? Grids/sands/paints?
30 a wheel isn’t bad considering he’s coming to you to fix them
it was fox wasnt it?
wow man, I would have lost it
Wow that does suck since the cost of them ouch GL!
same thing happened with my old wheels (the finish looked brand new before, and ended up with HUGE scuffs on them after). The shop told me to go pound salt
you could maybe just sand it out. working from like 400grit to 2000 all wetsanding. then use mothers aluminum polish. i did that to fix the curb rash on the motegi’s on the spec with a polished lip.
that’s what i’m thinking. I just don’t know if i should try and undertake it…
Also, it was NOT fox tire. It was a weird situation. I’m not really sure what/how anything happened, but it did, and there is nothing that whining will change, so i’m just going to move on and deal.
heres a pic of a quick of a polish with only going up to 800 and polish and heres one with 1500 and polish. just for reference
800 red outlining the polished part
1500 whole lip done
thats real life karma for ya
those rims look terrible
karma for who?
and im sure they just look terrible because of all of the attention drawn to the damage,
A) Probably god paying me back for being so awesome.
B) My rims look fucking awesome, sorry you drive a piece of shit fbod.
C) This thread was not posted asking for opinions, unlike your shit thread for your shit car, so unless you have some advice about the topic at hand (ie: that scratch looks terrible) please go fuck yourself, before i fuck your shitty sister.
Rimpro does cosmetic work as well…
the guys there ARE car guys, and treated me AWESOME and turned around my wheels in a day
local?
I had something like this happen to the wheels on my Mustang, which look as sweet as yours btw, and have a similar lip. They were damaged in an accident I was in many years ago. Took a hand file to knock everything down, then a “more fine” file to start smoothing it out. Using files got it looking pretty good, then just a few quick passes with sandpaper and polish and it wasn’t too noticeable from a few feet away.
Judging by your damage, and on all 4 wheels, figure a few hours by hand.
the others are only nicks about .5 long.
that’s the only bad one.
a- yuppers paybacks a bitch
b- “looked” past tense
c- ummm I believe in public forums you have to be willing to take the good with the bad, or so I was told…
opinions are like assholes and well theres alot of assholes on nyspeed
as for advice ummm well you should have gone to a reputable place to have the work done but surely someone as “awesome” as yourself knows this by now, fucking stick some silver duct tape over the gouges and shake the sand from your va-jayjay
otherwise dig into your trust fund and buy some new rims and offer these cheap to some of your sack riders on here
and lastly, nope sorry no siblings so 404 insult not found
Sorry that you suck, man.
Sorry that my wheels, even damaged, are probably worth more than your whole car.
Newman, Jim has fixed wheels for me in the past. Jen destroyed one of the wheels on her GTI, and he did an awesome job.
zing!
there is a place in hamilton called Wheel Wizards that redoes wheels… they do alot of insurance work as well.
I was in there recently, they have some huge electronic analysis tools that they stick the wheels on… it’s messed.
