Guards Rolled - Brisbane

[KummaZ]

Guys,

I figured when I am down in Brisbane getting my car tuned I may as well get my guards rolled so I can fit my new wheels as well. Anyone got a recommendation of who does a good job?

Cheers.

Just be aware that irrespective of whomever does it there is a fair chance it will crack the paint around the guard where it is rolled.

mind me asking what rims you gettin? and yea i wouldnt mind knowing who can professionally roll guards to

[r_speedfreak_r]

i've never seen a guard rolling job i liked. everytime ive seen it done the end result is not desirable

[KummaZ]

Well I don't really want to spend 3 or 4k getting wider guards fitted and painted...if I have to I will (can anyone recommend somewhere that does a good job of this lol). I'd rather just get them rolled though.

Thanks.

there are numerous threads (at least 1) in the QLD section.

Do a search.

Try showndown customs at Everton hills, 3353 1260.

Or do them yourself use a axe handle and lever it between the tyre and guard, a mate did it to his car no problems. But personally i would use a pro, knowing my luck if i tried to do it i would fu#k it.

camerons at coopers plains did mine

they do awesome work and are cheap, but also painted my car so i know they have the paint to match

when i got my rears rolled, it was subtle as and it still cracked the paint, got it fixed

I took my car to superior tyres at aspley. They said guard rolling woudn't be enough and recommended they cut some of the lip off the guard instead. Started on the car right away and had it done in less than 30 min, and solved my problem of the tyres rubbing on the guard without any risk to cracking the paint Highly recommended!!

this is who i used MANY years ago. Some who went there got cracked paint, but mine never did,even after 3+ years. I believe they bolt an arm on the wheel studs and there is a roller at the end the arcs around the inside of the guard while they heat it with a heat gun.

Do you have a number for SWT? Or can you tell me the full name of this company? I couldn't find a number for SWT when I tried.

Cheers,
