Yeah i'd say pimpin was the wrong word to use, now I look like a 16 year old without a car

One hell of an expensive exercise anyway dude... being Vic, did it rain the whole time as well?

[funkymonkey]

you were in VIC? lol whereabouts? taking the stag bush bashing are we?

[Sydneykid]

From the pictures I would say the rim is repairable.

cheers

That's gotta be more than just running a bit flat for a while. Is there suspension damage as well. Just the extensive wear on the old tyre makes me suspicious. As well, any pothole big enough to crack a rim like that could have caused other damage.

when i recently drove down to melbourne from sydney, i was blown out on how smooth the road was, like i dodged pot holes constantly on the way down and as soon as i hit the border i didnt get 1 pot hole,

drivin down with tein coil overs and a full bodykit scared me at some points i thought i cracked my bar n shit

ben...

[PranK]

SK, where would I get that fixed?

Shan, yeah drove down the coast to Port Campbel then back up the guts.

One R34 GTR rim

[saliya]

FWIW,

When I bought my first R32, it had 18x10 BBS wheels one of which had been slid along a gutter

(big gouge about 6mm deep).

Morton and May at Liverpool fixed it for $150; I couldn't tell where they'd actually done the work

from the outside (I made marks on the rim with a texta before I sent it to them). They have a good

rep from the research I did before sending my wheel to them (about 2 years ago now).

HTH,

Saliya

We use The Magman (9709 2686) for the race car wheels

cheers

PS; he is not called the Magman because he fixes mag wheels, it's because he likes a chat.

[PranK]

Awesome, thanks Gary, Saliya and others - much appreciated!

[Thunderbolt]

The photo of the "new" tyre looks like it's rubbing on something.

[PranK]

I think thats just where it has been folded when it blew.... at least thats what i hope.
