Depending on what angle you look, you can have a different "inside" :)

U guys dont get it do u!!!
I am asking u guys not to do something like that...
If ur alloy wheel/die cast wheels/mag wheels bend or break,
Throw it away and get a new set of rims, instead of putting ur life at risk.

U guys have no clue how much R&D goes into developing the right rim. The Rims are expensive bcoz of their manufacturing technique and stringent quality control. The cheap imitations dont go thru stuff like that and wont last plus dangerous. Once these breaks apart dont try to fix it..

its not the looks.. its ur safety that comes first...
Remember that...

NEO totally agree wid u ... hav seen sum ad in sum magazine ... it said about removing scratches n shinning it like new ... but repairing a broken rim is stupidity ... the next time this fixed rim breaks down ... u mite probably have to repair ur chasis .. coz ur gonna get into sum bigger accident screwin ur entire car ...

or maybe get ur bones joined by sum sardar in case u die (like the sardar for the rims) or get injured :lol: :lol:

n mikeh ... are u following ur cars resale value ... i mean ther's a time when ur ride is sellin really cheap in the market ... or the value mite come down ... u gotta sell it b4 anythin such happens ...
eg my dad bought an AVALON for 35k ... he used it for 3 months n later found out its value decreasing to 28k ... he sold for 43k immediately to a dumbhead goldsmith
similarly wid my primera ... prices r fallin ... so decided to sell it ... so u better tc n c how much price u get 4 it ... :)

lol.... guys
i knw of a place that is in sharjah..... if u need the location let me knw.
BUT
this place of which i talk about - a pakistani guy owns it...i paid a visit there once .he was friendly n became my frnd.i seen the rims he is Fixing.
porsche's , ferrari's , audi's , mercedes ....... n so on ..... he actually puts a rims thts broken into half back to one peice exactly to normal.its an awesome sight if u see it..... he brings it bak to new.ofcourse if u dont believe in rims being done up again then u wont do it... but i woudnt do it myself.but he seems to do a perfect JOB.its not super glued either.if theres isnt enough of metal on the broken rims he uses other types of metal to melt n s*** ..... whtever he does tht rim looks Perfect.
he also told me the whole of sharjah ( BMW road - rim Boyz ) he supplies to them.he gets broken rims ,bent rims n redoes it. n then gives it bak to good old irani boyz... which they say is brand New..... i dont trust them a bit.
u guys should check this place out... good for heavily damaged rims.
