ChrisR Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Ewww!! that looks bad. Is the tyre off the rim. The rim looks out of shape too. Im guessing the alloy has been stressed and even if it can be put back into shape its probably weakened. Not a normal kerbing that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Does look a bit mangled Ray Try Fat Wheels (listed on Yell), they may help. If not, a new wheel is in order Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 As it's a split rim, someone like Ibrar can order you a new outer rim and you or a wheel shop should be able to remove the old and replace it. This is of course assuming the centre (the spoked bit) is still straight. That steel wheel though has gone to wheel heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a few OZ wheels AFAIK have this feature. Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Japanese companies don't. Rays, Racing Hart, SSR, Work, Weds etc Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
