ManwithSupra Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 [sHOCK][/sHOCK]As some of you know i just had my wheels refurbed - closer inspection of one of the wheels shows a hairline fracture in two of the spokes (both sides of each spoke) Now i would imagine this would not of been picked up when the wheels were off for refurbishment cos of no pressure on the outer of the wheel but now they are on the car you can see noticable fracture in the paint, so i got a bit of sand paper and took back the paint to the bare metal which shows a crack in two of the spokes Can anything be done to rectify the issue or is it a new wheel job If it is a new wheel i am going to have issues finding one as i have the original axis hiros with "axis" stamped on one of the wheel spokes. Unless anyone knows of someone who has a spare one ?? Help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManwithSupra Posted June 8, 2008 Author Share Posted June 8, 2008 I guess its going to be a new wheel job, the only issue is that the other 3 have been refurbished so the colour match will be totaly off Perhaps i should bite the bullet and buy some new wheels Any suggestions ??

mr lover Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 by the time you by a new wheel and get them all painted, that will be a decent chunk to a new set of wheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Cheap wheels? You shouldn't get hairline cracks developing on a decent quality wheel unless they are hit hard. Have a look through these websites, if there are any wheels you want prices for just let me know. Weds Wheels Rays Wheels (Volk, Gram Lights, G-Game, etc.) Trafficstar Wheels Advan Wheels SSR Wheels Enkei Wheels Work Wheels 5Zigen OZ Wheels Do Luck Double Six Wheels Blitz TRD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
