OSM Garage Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Yep, I used steel surgeon. From memory it was $65 per rim. Lead time can vary (Took mine a total of 4 weeks) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OSM Garage Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 I wouldnt say nicely. I had Drury Tires fit the tyres on the rims and they balanced up awesome. The only issue I had was one of the rims leaked air where they welded. Took the rim back to the Steel Surgeon and they repaired it on the spot. Will be using them again for my 13" Lancer rims!

bosozoku_gx71 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Yep, I used steel surgeon. From memory it was $65 per rim. Lead time can vary (Took mine a total of 4 weeks) I have heard a few people say that it cost them 300 bucks but i gave them a call not to long ago and was quoted 500?

OSM Garage Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Ouch. $500? At that price it would be better to get the crowd in Chch to widen them. Call up steel surgeon and ask if they still widen rims at $65 per rim. Thats what I did. ($65.00+gst that is) As for flipping centres, im not sure if they can. They may be able to as they can put new centres into bands for the stock car boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
