warped wheels Sat, 15 February 2003 00:02 Go to next message
I've just scored a free set of 16" sparco fangs, but apparently they're warped. What does this mean?

They're barely 1/2 a year old and the previous owner had to buy new wheels (he bought chromies Razz), so I dunno if he got taken for a ride or what?

Is it fixable, and where is a good place for this? I haven't picked em up yet, but last i saw them was 4 months ago in practically new condition.

I would take them to a wheel and tyre place and get them to see how they are, if nothing is visualy wrong get them to run them on the balencer. If something dramatic has happened to them you may want to get them crack tested!

chances are hes damaged them on a curb or something if theyre warped..if theyre good quality alloy's its unlikley they will ever balance well again once bent and is usually the reason people buy a "new" set and you dont want to know how much it costs to try and repair them...another reason most people oft for a new set
