:::::::::ics Up Tomorrow Morning::::::::::::::
I just Curbed My new damn gram lights.
Anyone Know of a place, that i guess you would call, "Reface" Rims? lol i'm dumb.

I live in the NorthBay California Area.
Give me Some Advice guys.

Thanks.

 

Look in the phone book, or go to a big reputable wheel shop and ask. A few friends have had wheels fixed before with good results.

 

i wish i took pics before it fixed, but i had bought a set of SSR type X's, and one was curbed, and cracked on the bead.

i took it to a local billet wheel shop that makes wheels and addapters, and he added material and then spun the wheel.

other than it looking like complete ***, since i want to paint all 6 at the same time, it spins like new.. and smoooth! worth every bit of the 100 bucks i paid.

 

i feel your pain!!!

 

They are garbage now, can't be repaired. I can dispose of them for you free of charge.

 

There's one reason to get rotas...

 

ADVICE-
Don't buy expensive wheels and run them on the street.
Wheels get F#ck'd up, it's a fact.

 

ouch that sucks, rotas for me

So what only get wheels for your queer *** car shows? Wheels are meant to be used and abused that is why high quality wheels are made to such exacting specifications.

... that statement is retarded. Use more caution when you drive and things like that don't happen. ADVAN, Work, ADR whatever... don't aim for curbs and it won't happen.

 

each and every one of us are aware that if we buy expensive rims, we know all the consequences to come from it. If my wheels get thrash, so be it, of course like aLL STar says don't aim for curbs and it won't happen

Ha, I know... sorry I had to reach everyone on HT. Maybe I should have said Rota instead.

Drive like a P#ssy and your pretty wheels won't get hurt

RACE WHEELS ON THE STREET
WHY?

 

I run my Gram Lights on the street... the finish on those things is TOUGH!!!

sorry to hear about the damage... I'd buy another wheel, and keep the curbed one as a full size spart. that's what a pimp would do anyways.

It's not about driving like a *****, it's about not hitting curbs. I know a lot of people that drive hard and don't curb wheels. Race wheels, stock wheels, spinners, whatever... don't hit curbs and you won't curb your wheels. It's really not that hard to understand.

I'm running 195/50's on 15x8.5's with a slight tire stretch and I've never come close to running up on a curb.

sounds like my shitty luck.....sorry to hear

 

u need tires with a thick side wall.. something like Falkens Ziex 512s.. they saved my rims plenty of times

 

damn that sucks. u should be able to find a shop to fix them easily

 

How ironic, i accidentally curbed one of my bro's Gram Light's when i was learning how to drive stick. His ebay short shifter snapped in half, so he just had his shift **** sitting on top of the broken shifter. When i went to shift, i couldn't tell if i was in a gear or not (the stupid shift **** wobbled regardless), so the car rolled back and SCRAPPPEEE, a 1 inch curb mark. Luckily it was minor.

Haven't been near any curbs since
