Havard Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 A friend of a friend is having a go at repairing it. He said as long as its only the outer rim and none of the spokes it will be fine. Taking 50 quid but i need to finish it myself. Scott =op Erm....... The overall strength of that wheel will now be almost non existent. Do not drive on that wheel mate...... H.

Rob Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 From memory, Tony Ball was the name of the first MKivSupra owners club member to die in my time in this club. He died in Southhampton when his damaged wheel came apart,despite members telling him to ditch the wheel. I believe he also killed a motorcyclist in the ensuing crash. Any other long standing members may feel free to correct me on the details, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Break her hair dryer and quietly say "OOPS" The GHD straightners is where the real hurt is OK, for a start lets see what we have here: 1. MR2 Turbo - very very cool car, you have great taste 2, WTF are you on letting a woman drive an MR2 Turbo and you a 106? 3, 3-spoke alloys - you need shooting.............. The MR2 was mine, i was going to sell it to buy the sup but she liked it so much she wanted to keep it. The 106 is just my daily driver, the sup is for the weekend. Good man!! Also, besides them being really dangerous after damage like that, they also look really sh!te...... H. TBH i really like the Advans on the MR2, the wife loves them. I think its the only car they actually suit, that i have seen anyway. I don't like the look of them on the Sup. I had BK alloys on there before, black chrome ones, but they got slightly kerbed. Found out the hard way that you shouldn't have the same size tyres all round on a powerful rwd car lol. Scott =op Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flip Posted March 6, 2008 Share Posted March 6, 2008 I'm with these guys, don't repair it, bin it and buy new. Would you run a marathon if you'd just had a cast put on your broken leg and the nurse said, it SHOULD be ok to walk on?? And ignore the nasty comments about the three spokes, sure, I wouldn't have them, and I may inwardly chuckle if I saw them going down the street, but if you like them, keep them - its your car, and modding is about individuality - hell, I have veilside skirts on my soop, and we all know what "the club" thinks of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott =op At the end of the day who cares we all like different things and as long as you like what you got the Hell with what others think right? Be safe mate and get rid, you will be better off safety wise for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
