Want: 17" rims to suit 235/45 tyres

[Dirtydog]

Hey guys, after my trip up to blenhiem all was well, till i got home and relised one of my rims has a split in it.

i got them pretty cheap, and so far have had a good run. tyres are still basicly new though, bit of a shame to about the rim, back to the steelies for now lol.

But anyway im looking for a set of rims, nothing flash cheaper the better, not worried about scratches or curbed, aslong as they balance all good and arnt buckled/cracked etc.

stud pattern is same as ford/nissan skyline etc, 5 stud , 114mm spacing.

how bad is the split? it could possibly be welded if its not too bad

a good tyre shop should be able to source a repair for you

shouldn't be more than $100

theres a slight buckle in it, with a crack less than 1mm wide.

just not too keen on driving around on a welded rim.

these ones are pretty dingd up to.

repaired rims are fine. pop into general tyres on river rd they would know where to get it fixed or on my travels i could bring it to chch to get repaired.

might be the way to go then, ill see if there is anyone around gore that can fix it, if its more than $100 id rather buy a whole set off trademe for around $150

cheers for the info guys.

We charge $120+ to weld a crack. I has to be done properly tho, I've re-fixed many that haven't been...and if you don't straighten it as well it'll prolly crack again....

yea i remember when it happended to my brothers one, he had to send it away, got charged $200 and wasnt fixed properly.

but thats just his experiance and it was a bit worse.

i got my tyre vulcanised at general tyres awhile ago, so ill try them theyl know where to get it done.
