Do not involve your insurance company......Tell them your going to use a third party recovery agent...they will shit them selves.....call them everyday take the wheels off and throw them on there doorstep with a note (this works well...i have done it many times)call them 5 or 6 times a day call the assesor 3 or 4 times a day

hey siksII, I shold have explained better, the weld, sand and repaint I would only allow for chips on the surface, never for an actual crack on the rim. Our rims only had superficial damage and so I'm happy for them to repair it :cheers:

duncan:

the zed has the original wheels right? they are forged so by getting them welded up they will be much weaker (i wouldnt drive on one..) than they originally were, if i were you i would have gotten a replacement rim...

it may look the same but it will lose lots of strength.

The damage being repaired was cosmetic, chips and scrapes and gouges. I would get my wheels repaired like that without hesitation because the wheels are still structually intact. If the wheel had (say) broken in half, and they then proceeded to rewelded those two halves back together, THEN I wouldnt trust driving on them.

If its just a cosmetic touch up then you shouldnt worry about it, just make sure its ballanced before putting it back on the car.

Ah ok fair enough, it sounded like the wheel had structural damage when i heard 'weld' !

assuming you are insured, use your insurance company to get what you want. if they call, just tell them you're going through your insurer.

some years ago a woman ran into me while i was stationary (i.e. her fault). she was driving a government car on a weekend, dressed in horse-riding gear. clearly not for gov't use. about a week later, i received a letter from a melbourne insurance company listing damage all over her car (even though prang was front left quarter only) and asking me to admit being at fault.

i threw the letter in the bin and didn't reply. i took the car to a registered repair shop and they sent the bill to my insurance co (nrma back then).

don't deal with them any more, use your insurance company. if you reply to any of their letters or phone calls, they might be able to use this as your admission of fault. if they call, be polite, but don't talk with them: "my insurer is dealing with this matter. goodbye".

well if it was her fault then take her to court and you'll prob dig deep into her pockets there, but its really your choice on this. theres not much you can do with 2 rims, except look stupid. =]

its called drift look :wassup:

and fight they have to pay up everything to put your car in the con it was before.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
