Curbed Rage alloys

par33t · 23rd October 2007, 14:42

I'm nearly ready to leave the wife. Having finally allowed the woman to drive, i now have 3 heavly curbed alloys any ideas were to get these changed or fixed or even were i can pick them up cheap somewhere.

Are you sure she hasn't found any naughty texts on your mobile?

I guess you should ask her to do the last one too though. At least that way you'll have a matching set

I'd get rid of her!!

I know the feeling. I have just badly kerbed two of mine on my drive when half asleep going to work

I have been to chips away and quoted £120 for the two which was better than a local body shop who charged me £80 when I had my old car repaired. I guess it depends on the damage, but £50 + vat a wheel seems the going rate.

I have just done a 2nd one, in about a week.

Not my fault

, I blame it on the low profile tyres, which only give about 63mm from road surface to rim.

not bragging or anything but i have never kerbed an alloy in my life. I am always ultra careful. If needs be i pull in not that close to kerb and just edge my way in. May take a little longer but that does not bother me when it saves me money.

Hope you meant the wife

Jack The Lad. · 23rd October 2007, 20:34

Neither have I mate, in ALL the years that I have been driving.
But since buying me Civic 5-6 weeks ago, it seems to be a done deal, like the wheels are out to get me.

f.ss.t · 23rd October 2007, 22:32

hey guys, get this, had my civic since March and done my fair few mods now, first time i let my partner (fiance) drive, she kerbs it..... and says - ''some one had to do it''
i was p*ssed off for the next hour...no joke

It could have been worse - look what happened to this guy when his wife parked the 4WD in the garage (probably after finding out he had been playing around).

The alloys look OK though.

Oh my... Is that a ferrari under there?

Someone had to do it? I would have been pee'd off for more than an hour, but thats love for you I guess

TTDegs · 24th October 2007, 13:13

I've done 3 of my Storms now

I blame the uneven curbs we have round here, and the narrow roads which mean you park close to the edge or risk a wing mirror.
Or it could be the low profile tyres.
Or the potholes.
Or sun spots.

or something.

Definately not my parking though!

TTDegs · 24th October 2007, 13:14

PS - yes, chipsaway seem to be the best bet round here - although they are a franchise, so there is the potential for some being better than others.

Not sure about the Rages, but sometimes it's difficult to get an exact colour match, so you might need to do all 4 instead of 3 - depending on how close they can get

vtidan · 24th October 2007, 15:15

My GF scraped the Nearside through a hedge (luckily it T cutted out. )

JonTypeS · 24th October 2007, 16:01

Mines managed to kerb 2 of the alloys as well and for a laugh I though I would phone the stealer to get a price as Id been quoted £60 each from chips away and they quoted me £50, so its always worth a try.

vtec-hungry · 25th October 2007, 08:43

Jack The Lad. · 25th October 2007, 08:57
