Arch Rolling (Future Value)


SPG

Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.

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

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?

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.
