+1, so fast? i havent even seen your new wheels yet!

the thing with bent wheels is that if you fix it, i've heard from people that you might actually weaken the wheel even more, if your wheel isn't that expensive, it might actually be cheaper and safer to just buy one and replace your bent one

Kit523 · 03-25-2009, 02:43 AM

holy fuxk!
what did u do= =

wayway409 · 03-25-2009, 02:46 AM

Fxxk............................

so what should i do? bring the wheel to green ?

wo damn thats brutal, i don't know what kind of miracles wheel repair shops can do but i agree with ehhhwik that it might be cheaper or even safer to buy a new one.

335ifanatic · 03-25-2009, 03:17 AM

Damn, I was planning on ordering the V710's...hopefully this isn't a quality issue with the wheels.

I would remove the rim and bring it down to Greens a and let them to look at it and see if they can fix it. If they can, I suspect it'll cost well over $200+ so I would check the price for a new replacement rim before going in.

damn! so fast.u have to beware the pot hole when u used the 19" wheels.i got quote from a shop b4,they will charge for $75 dollar for straightening.but....they maybe scratched on the wheels.and i think buy the new one is better way,or u if u don't mind got little damage on wheels for just do the straightening.

ehhhwik · 03-25-2009, 03:33 AM

wow, after looking at those pics, i would say buy new one, not worth fixing la, but if you really want, you can go to greens and see what advise they give you, but if they are going to charge you $150 to fix, why not pay $200 and get brand new one?

sorry to bear bad news ><

Maybe, he just hit it so hard that it bent.

wayway409 · 03-25-2009, 03:49 AM

so guys....................new one or fix?

cuz its custom paint, i would have to pay more for the paint too....

KkSc · 03-25-2009, 03:53 AM

ask greens to get a quote first, and ask around to see how much is just one wheel cost, then u will know what you need to do!!!

I3aby · 03-25-2009, 05:03 AM

ouch...
good luck!!

wayway409 · 03-25-2009, 05:26 AM

lol............i would prefer fixing for now.

i just finished changing all the wheels and when i see the bented wheel carefully, the only thing i see is the bended lip only........i doubt if there are internal bent or sth else.

i will just wait for green's reply and call them tmr...

thats some serious dentage. i think you're better off getting a new wheel as the price difference getting that fix'd properly and getting a new rim would probably be not much difference.

Repute · 03-25-2009, 11:12 AM

What did you hit?
It is not a small bent-.-
Get a new one just to be safe...
