Let me know what you think,

I don't know if they can be bronze anodized anywhere,

might be a better option to get it powdercoated white or gunmetal grey,, which is a much cheaper option,,,

anyways,,

let me know if anyone is interested in having a closer look at these rims,,

best time for me is on the weekends,,,

i'm in brisbane

YGM.

To be honest I'm interested really in the two back wheels for burnout tyres. For the benefit of everyone I'll call an alloy wheel place and see if forged rims can be fixed. I have a suspicion they can't.

Interested in the rear rims. Are they dinted or just scratched, do they have tyres and what condition are they in? If you will sell them seperately please pm me a price.

Well I called two places today and like many things... it's inconclusive.

One place was adamant that forged couldn't be fixed. One said forged can be on a case by case basis...

That front wheel looks very dead to me!!... place to find out for sure is Chris Neale at Wheel Revolution in Slacks Creek 07 3209 2833

[AFRO]

ya i heard of that guy,, i havent taken the rims to him,, but he quoted me like $1000 PER rim,,,,

anyways,, Price is negotiable ppl..... make me an offer

[51jay]

His prices have allways been very reasonable, Sounds like he is saying....not worth repairing

[AFRO]

i'm pretty sure the rear ones are fine,, only has stracthes and the edges are bent a little, which i think can be re-rolled out,,,

anyways,,, still for sale

[Sydneykid]

Word of warning, TE37's are forged and anodised, not rolled and painted like a cast rim.

I am not trying to kill Afros sales. :fart:

"Cast" means the alloy is pored into a mold using gravity or a bit of pressure over a length of time. The rims can then sometimes be heat treated to make them stronger. It is a compromise between making them strong but not to brittle. Softer rims are easier to repair by maching or rolling, some can even be welded.

"Forged" means that very high pressure is used to sqeeze the alloy into shape, very rapidly. They are very hard and strong, slightly more brittle and not easy to re-roll or machine.

"Anodised" is an acid etching style of process where the alloy is dipped into a bath and the etch changes the colour of the surface. This is very durable surface and very light, there is no weight of paint. But they can't be easily re-coloured as they have to be totally dipped into the anodising solution.

"Painting" is well painting, the alloy is sprayed with paint (or powder coated) and generally baked in a oven. The paint is a couple of mm thick so it adds weight to the rim. But it is easy to repaint the whole rim or touch up damaged bits.

Hope that helps
