Put my stock BBS with spacers back on my car!

Two deep gouges was enough to push me over the edge, I have some small scrapes and scratches on another rim... so I though good chance to fix both and it will probably worth the money now..
The last time I had a rim repaired for a tiny scratch on my DC5R the guy charged me $165 only because he forgot the GST.
$130 was the initial setup cost >.>

WIll let you know once I have my quote.

Im considering selling mine now... Should have bought 18 X 10.5s :)
So much nicer to drive on 18s .. but love the look of 19s..
Decisions decisions! :wink:

Yeah mate , same dilemma here. Should've went 18x10.5 +22 or wider like a 19x10.5 +22 , what i could do is keep driving on the te37sl , in the future , invest in a bigger and wider set and leave the te37sl for track :D

Maybe powdercoat it mag blue or orange ! winnnnn

It's a pretty common thing to do, so no, not really.

pulled out of a park a bit fast, either my power steering is faulty or the traction control stops it, im not really sure, i was facing a wall i tried to turn and the steering was really heavy like the power was off, although it wasnt, i bounced off the wall and thats that. a little bit pissed off, wheel spin while turning = not steering ...................

Damn sorry to hear that. Does it look like it can be fixed or will you have to replace the whole front bumper + that side panel?
