I was wondering if anybody has an arch rolling tool or maybe rolls arches in the Essex area, as I am getting some 16x9 borbets in Jan and don't want any scraping noises! 8)

Cheers dannyb0y i had a look on there, it says 80 pounds for a pair of arches, is this reasonable compared to other places?

yeah i think i paid about 70 pounds a couple years back, but id say it still aint to bad when you think about it mate, 40 quid per arch for someone to come out to your own palce, saving you the trouble and hassle of finding someone local going to them and sitting waiting for it to be done when you could be sitting at home in the warm chilling out lol
just my opinion though mate :wink:

be careful with them as a few are ok but heard more horror stories then good only because its a franchise and varys on workmanship

shame you arent closer as i can do it but try companys like r-tec and elite alloys and so forth

IF its a facelift? well i jacked mine up got a wooden rolling pin and continued from what bmw left, ie half rolled. I lowered it down onto the pin making sure it was tight then started to roll, lower it abit more then try again repeat until perfect.

paint did crack off though if you want pro try an arch flarer man who warms up the paint and can get it perfecto.
