kurbed a wheel

Postby wr1500 » Thu Aug 04, 2005 9:35 pm

I am totally gutted! :evil: i have damaged a wheel takin on a kurb, what a knob i am! have seen about getting it repaired, that is not the problem. The problem is that everywhere i go everyone says the same thing, that they will be unable to match the colour of the wheel, and that i will have to paint all four!

Has anyone else had this prob? is so can you help me in anyway, i have to maintain my cars good looks!

WR1Lee (not me) is selling a Genuine WR1 Wheel in the 'FOR SALE' section!

He doesn't need it anymore, 'cos he's bought an Audi A4 Diesel!
Sold out and bought an EVO......then sold it because it was rubbish!

PMSL at the Female protection tyres :lol:

The Pzeros don't have much rim protection at all! Another reason to get F1's on as soon as zeros are finished.

Yes at local tyre place a while back, iwas waiting to get tyres on the van so thought i'd ask while i was there. Can't mind exact prices but went through a lot of the performance tyres & most coming in between
