dented speedlines..

Post by themildbunch »

Finally got my tyres swapped over to a new set of the smaller width speedlines I bought through the forum here:

When the fitters were balancing the wheels, two had noticeable flat spots on the back of the rims. They said they would be safe but possibly 'bumpy' and annoying to drive with so we put them on the rear. Didn't notice anything at 60 but haven't had a chance to drive about much.

A local company is able to 'undent' alloys by heating over a couple of hours then reshaping..

Anyone else had experience here?
Anyone got 2 5.5J silver speedlines they want to sell me?
