Default Bent Volk TE-37....??

Hey Guys,

The inside of my TE-37 was bent when I was run off the road the other day. I thought I missed the curb, but I guess I clipped the inside of the wheel. Now it's not keeping a good seal with the tire. Does anyone know if you can fix a bent TE-37? I have heard it can't be done. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
Jason

Bump... I'd like to know too... I would like to also get mine refinished. They look like ****. Especially after someone tried to steal them.

Lo Phat,

At least your stickers are still on your wheels. Mine are missing half a sticker here and half a sticker there.

Depends on how bad it is.

Heheh when I got my te-37s one of the "big" car guys here told me "he would" take the stickers off. Hehehe i mean i didn't buy them 100% for the stickers and all but I just laughed in his face. That sucks... i feel ya. Can you order new ones? I don't want to be "stickerless" if i get them refinished! People have to know their real, serial numbers and all! hehehe

i bent my mugen mf-8 on a ditch. It wasnt too bad, but the tire wouldnt hold air for very long. I took it to discount tire and they fixed it for 80 bucks...straight as an arrow now

Thanks for the reply's. I found a local company that is recommended and said they could fix it no problem. They said they have had past experience with TE37's. They even said they would warranty the work as long as I own the wheels and that the wheel be as strong as before. They need the wheel for 3 days though. I let you guys know how it comes out.
