Rims might be fixable, but by the look of that photo you need both a) new tires to replace those old ass yokohamas, and b) new brake disks and most probably c) new brake pads as well - looking at the wear ????

    Ah, the jokey, racist, xenophobic, stupid reply. So funny. You ought to be a stand up comedian. Hilarious. Thanx ever so much. Not.

  • Yeah, but where is he going to get 4000 bats? Not sure it's even legal in Thailand, especially not if they're endangered bats.

Junk that wheel. Your life - and that of other road users when it fails - are not worth it.

 

"Sand casting has been around since the industrial revolution and I had the honor to visit one of the oldest foundries in the USA many years ago for a project we were involved in with one of my other companies. The process is simple, cheap and offers good repeatability but at a trade off. The trade off’s to loose sand cast wheels are the heavy weight, increased porosity and a much greater chance for fatigue and cracking."

A true Hi Performance forged wheel will be more than $1500 bucks - or 45,000 Baht - each

Two piece wheel. Want a forged one piece ... bring a big wallet

2011 prices ...

The current lineup of HRE wheels is as impressive as it is expensive. Wheels start at around $1,300 per corner ... for a 3 piece wheel

Quote from link I provided ...


If you're looking for something stronger than the already burly three-piece, HRE might direct you to its one-piece Monoblok

look at secondhand shops for a replacement set of rims and tires. Also look on Facebook groups for Buy and Sell pages. Might just find the set you damaged.
