Me too!! only done 64 miles in mine!!!

slownfast · 04-11-2013, 04:32 PM

is that really bad? i think it's better to keep it if it is not bad.

shockin330i · 04-11-2013, 07:45 PM

nothing, just random blow outs

I'm glad I have tire and wheel insurance. Even though after 5K miles I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

PalmTreeMD · 04-11-2013, 09:34 PM

Mine too! < 1200 miles.

Trojan915 · 04-11-2013, 09:52 PM

I did the same thing and was told about a shop where they repair rims. The shop charges about $100 per rim. I'm considering buying new rims.

I saw this stuff too just looking thru their newsletter. I don't think it works as easily or as good as they portray. I'd just pay a professional to do it right the 1st time. You'd hate to dismount the wheel go thru all this to repair it and then have to have a professional do it again. Remember you get what you pay for.

But do let us know how that Bav stuff works! LOL

1800 miles and replacing my front wheel and tire.
fell in a crater and cracked the rim and tore tire
thank God for the wheel and tire insurance

Hi, which prep shop is this? I have one rime which had some minor scratches, bought a kit and made it look 'OK', but not perfect, £40 is a steal

kthankzbye · 04-20-2013, 12:47 AM

I just curb rashed my oem m5 rims. Need to find a place to fix them too.
