Don't touch your arches without a heat gun and proper roller. You will kick yourself if you do

can't really tell from the photos but there is a flat spot, is there anyway of this getting sorted or are wheels useless?

I wouldn't worry, those wheels don't fit anyway.

But they are repairable

  • Author

got home to see these waiting safe to say I'm looking forward to weekend

Are they coilovers? If so are you getting the hubs pressed in at a garage or something?

  • Author

they come with hub attached it's just a case of swapping them over isn't it?

Not sure mate, I thought they came without bearings or hubs

  • Author

I think it's just a straight swap may need bearings

put up a pic...the ones I've seen need bearings and hubs fitted

if you have to buy bearings get good well known brands as the cheap ones dont last then its ball ache to pull it off again

they look like that

  • Author

looks like I'll need new bearings and hubs, may as well get new ones while they're off, build it up as much as possible off the car

Edited by joelmoore

Yeah they need hubs too, I reckon you need a garage to press them in but it shouldn't be super expensive if you bring everything

one of my dad's mates runs a garage so I'll be able to get it done cheaper
