scorps Posted July 18, 2008 Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 Probably quicker to re-furb it than the hassle of claiming from whoever posted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2008 the rim isnt to bad is it? is it something that can be massaged back? Picture makes it look worse than it is..... Once is smooth the bead line and fit the tyre it will be ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted July 19, 2008 Report Share Posted July 19, 2008 Wouldn't the tyres hide most of that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 Mat tyres are fitted..... Question though?... The tyres are directional, and i've been told that for Drift they should be fitted in reverse to change the compressive effect of the directional tyre?...... ever heard of that?

I was "glassy eyed" thinking it was bollox but after thinking about it there seems to be some logic.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Posted July 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 i always run the tyres the normal way tony.... I listen to you mat.... can we assume there is no plausible reason to run directionals in reverse, or shall we say the topic is "subjective".
