SPG Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Hi Chaps, I am wondering if getting my arches rolled is this going to damage my cars future value? I am currently looking to track down some nice new wheels, but the majority require the arches to be rolled. What do you guys reckon?

Gaz6002 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Shouldn't make much difference to resale value really, but if you're bothered about it, there are other solutions. They cost a lot more though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Rolling isn't going to be as bad as chopping them out, IMHO. It's hardly any different, as long as it's sealed up correctly it's not going to rust, or become any increase issue for rust than normal. I wouldnt even worry about it tbh.

mellonman Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Unless your keeping it 100% stock as a collector's car then dont worry about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 As long as the job is done correctly and not a baseball bat under the arch I don't see the problem. As said above unless it is being kept 100% stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Massey Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Should not affect price And could even interest more people if they have different tastes in wheels and offsets. I've never known anyone to complain about rolled arches that were done properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOGIE Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I doubt anyone would even notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 As mentioned, only if it is a collectors car with stupidly low mileage... roll away (don't crack the paint). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnk Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I think its an individual thing and very dependent on how much of a roll is required. Some are hardly noticeable and some have huge rolled lips that to me look awful, i wouldn't buy one car i've seen recently purely down to that.

A roll should only be a roll, anything further is a flare. And that's different territory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's only the underside edge of the quarter panel getting rolled then fine but most i've seen are way more than that and start bending the outer shape of the quarter panel, they look bad then imo. Call it what you will, flared or rolled i don't like it once it distorts the quarter panel outer shape Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPG Posted August 26, 2014 Author Share Posted August 26, 2014 Okay so that a bit of reassurance then, I will have to try and find a decent place to do the work. I think me apprehension lies with the fact that I have never had the arches rolled on any of my vehicles. Are most people with larger wheels able to retain the arch lining also?

JamieP Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 As long as you don't roll them out of shape and deform the arch, I don't see an issue with resale down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 Depends on the quality of the job I guess. Some look really well done, others seem to have paint issues. I would probably prefer to have rolled arches if running super sticky tyres like R888s, as there's less surface area to attract gravel rash.

Al Massey Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 I've rolled many supras, one just recently was glenzamike's rears. He is facelift, and got a perfect roll and I've done suprasteveo's before too. A roll should be just tucking the lip out of the way by folding it flat. Done right and there will be no paint issue or distortion, or anything getting behind the seal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Are most people with larger wheels able to retain the arch lining also? Yes, I just had to remove the top bolt on the outside edges of both the front liners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
