    Default bent rim

    this is not going to hold air is it?





    Was damaged in transit, can see matching damage on the box they were packed in. Looks like a forklift has run into it

    Words can't describe how fucking mad i am right now.

    The wheels were insured and i have more than enough evidence to prove the damage happened in transit. Whats the bet they worm there way out of paying. Does anyone know a good wheel repairer i could get a quote off tommorrow? ( and roughly how much im looking at )

    Firstly they turn up at my place and the rims are not on the truck! next the wheels are still at the loading dock and now one of the rims is fucked! Just fucking useless how hard is it to move two boxes from one state to another!!!

    There's a wheels repair shop in slacks creek down moss street. But there turn around is pretty shit lol. Might take a while to get it back. But wen I got them to repair one I told them I needed it for a show and kept calling them like every hour to see how it was goin and I got it back that day. So give them a try. There like the forth driveway down moss street on the left if ur turning off Compton rd can't remember the address.

    ^^^ wheel revolution

    i use a guy down the gold coast who's work is of a better quality. Actually rolls the damage out ,rather than hammer then machining

    rim will need polishing after repair.
