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.

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.

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.
