Simple job. Remove wheels, remove tyres, DIY refurb centres, professional rim finish, refit tyres inc 2 new Toyos, refit to car...............not! Last wheel to go on balancer....buckled!! Obviously been pot-holed at some stage, no wonder it was fitted on the rear, crafty seller. Have to use it on rear again for BBWF then get it sorted

Anyone got a good (unbuckled!) 8J x 15 OZ split-rim wheel for a 400SE. Polished alloy condition not important as I'll use the refurbed outer off mine. Beer tokens waiting

TIA
Mike

I had that issue with an ebay seller .. selling 5 x 16 inch oz wheels.

I asked him to check if any were buckled before picking them up

One was - so I bought the other 4.

GSX had two of them and I had the other two.

Do you know if it would be possible to get the rim back to the polished surface?? If yes then I want one!

What do you think?

Cheers, David

It'll go in the boot ok then? I've fitted the buckled one on the rear for now, so cant check the bare wheel to see if it'll fit ok.
