Archs Rolled

[Essex_Lad]

needing my rear archs rolled, how much am i lookin at?

heard also it can crack the paint! true?

Got 17s on mine and think I need mine done too before I get it lowered. Had the same rims on my lowered RT and they scraped like hell over every little bump! On the bright side though - no back seat passengers!

If the jobs done properly they should put a sealant of some kind to stop paint damage. Not sure of a price though

got 17s on my RT and lowered a bit and its cuttin into the tyre over bit bumps!

got some new rear tyres comin jus need to archs either grind the lip away or rolled

Have heard stories of people heating up the paint before rolling the arches to stop the paint from cracking.

gonna get rid of the side strips, locks and get the archs rolled at the same time might as well or ill jus end up gettin it resprayed for no reason

jus need a price

my door was £90 effectively the same job.

will be cheaper if youre getting a few bits done.

Mine cut rings round my tires!

I was never sure if it was the inner edge of the arch or around the bottom of thr sill that cought on it.

Its not a major job for rolling I reckon max £100 for your two rear archs

Mine never touched on the fronts!

 

[Essex_Lad]

fronts r fine no worries there!

Most people I spoke to said 130 an arch..

Rolling wont get rid of this problem tho - the problem Im guessing you have, which I have on my 195/50/15 is the inner arch lip inside..

 

[Essex_Lad]

but if u roll em and cut the lip off i spose!

well im takin it to a garage tomorrow to get a few quotes done!

i think samuari, Essex said £45 an arch nice lil xmas prez

 

[Essex_Lad]

i called up one company and they said they might not be able to be rolled due to there flat shape and cuttin the inner lip will cause em to rust!

Itll only rust after cutting if you leave the bare metal, as long as its done properly ie repainted then it should be ok!
