- Tue Apr 15, 2008 1:31 am #50686 When they installed my new tires they said there could be a BIT of scraping but nothing that would affect overall performance or cause any damage.

Sometimes when I hit a pothole or a change in pavement level I can hear a very disgusting sound as if my tire is banging against my wheel well. I may try this in a few days when we're finishing up the body work.

I think they're 195/40/15...Either that or 195/45.

It sounds REALLY nasty, I hope doing this will clean that up.

- Wed Apr 30, 2008 2:07 pm #53201 My idea:

Civic-Eg should invest in the actual, professional fender rolling tool.

Purchase for $300 and rent out to members for $15/4 days. Renter gives a deposit of $300 (sent through pay-pal or certified cheque). Teal sends renter the tool along with a return delivery slip for when the renter is finished.

When renter is finished, he/she returns the tool to Teal with the pre-printed return label (postage paid). Teal then refunds renter the deposit (minus shipping charges and $15).

This way, individuals could use the tool for $15 plus maybe $40 in shipping both ways? Once Teal has rented it to 20 people he has his money back, and members on the site could also let their (TRUSTED) friends use it for a charge as well, and make some of their money back that way.

I've seen websites of people who do this and charge even more for people to rent. Why not make some profit and also provide a much needed service to your posters Teal? I think it's a can't-fail idea.

- Wed Apr 30, 2008 2:47 pm #53204 I've googled it too, I've seen two websites, and I know for sure that one isn't accepting any more renters right now as the list is too long.

I'm quite certain the other website has a waiting list of at least a few months.

Just thought it might be something Civic-EG and its members would be interested in.

You may want to consider splitting the cost with a couple of friends and all roll your fenders for cheap w/o using a bat :thumb:

- Mon Sep 29, 2008 4:56 pm #71932 Well, that is my plan since no tire/wheel shop here carries that tool for rent. I'm gonna buy the rolling tool and rent it only to my trusted friends for now, then if someone else needs it I'm gonna ask for a deposit then like $5-10/day. :thumb:
