I know it needs lowering!! it will be once i've sorted the damn things out...if i do




Well guys a few days back I swapped my RXII 16's for some RM's, stuck some brand new tyres on & headed home, I noticed that the front wheel seemed to kink somewhat so I took it to kwikfit, he said the wheel is buckled and i need a new one , the scray thing is the other front seems to kink a bit too, I'm hoping that this isnt the case, hopefully a guy from tidy is going to take a look at them for me. Any ideas what it could be? could it be that they havent been rebuilt & sealed properly (does that mean its a case of just splitting them & doing it again) or is it more likely the dishes or drums are buckled? when the tyres were put on they said they had issues getting them pumped up, and i seem to be loosing alot of air on them as i saw it escaping from the bottom of the valve when i was washing the car on both sides.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

dude they do look soooooo good though!

Now that 3 members of this forum with PHAT BBS rim on a GTI

I wish I brought BBS wheels now instead of the Schmidt's

i ordered th lines then cancelled them!!

james have you got another set of wheels to use? you can borrow my G60's for a while if you need to mate

mate you would be a life saver, that way i could get up to basingstoke and deal with this on the cheap, i'm really hoping its balancing or tyres not fitted properly, the outer rims are brand new so i find it very difficult to believe they are bent

if you want to borrow them you can come get them today and il even help you put them on eh?!! haha

are you free now? i have work at 5pm so i'd need to be quick

w00t for RMs!

If the outer dishes are new then I would hope that they aren't buckled or damaged! But you never know...

As you say, just needs lowering

ah mate i hope they're not buckled coz they look absolutely stunning!
