Hey guys, I've been waiting for an excuse for a while now to proudly post my AUIII
Now onto the question. I had a bit of a disagreement with a gutter, and this is the aftermath: Does anyone know a cheap place to get it repaired? I've got a quote for a new wheel from the place I bought it of $250 fitted and balanced. Thanks in advanced! |

You're better off replacing the wheel - those RJR wheels are the bottom of the barrel and are really quite cheap. This is why i always buy tyres fat enough to have a bulging sidewall - so the sidewall takes the gutter bumping not the wheel.

you are lucky thats the only damage...
My mate had an AU with RJR wheels, and when he mounted a gutter, it broke every single spoke...

I'm not sure what state you are in but if it's Vic, try Neway wheels works in Heidleberg. They do awesome work at very reasonable prices
