Default firehawk rims

does anyone know where i can find one? does anyone make a replica? i was told one of mine wasnt sealing because of chrome flaking or something. i really dont remember but i was told i needed to buy new rims. or is it possible to have mine repaired?

If it's because of the chrome flaking I would think you could have them refinished.

Sounds like BS.... take them to another shop. If the chrome is flaking where the tire is sealing then you can probably just sand it down and prime the area to keep the chrome from flaking further. I would look into it further before you throw away a perfectly good set of wheels. If not ... give them to me and buy my firehwak wheels ...hehe

Get it fixed if possible. They are no longer made and have become rather expensive.

I was going to send mine off and have them rechromed. Its $$$ but would be worth it if you love the stock Hawk wheels. Search on google "rechromeing wheels" or somethin like that..Its a big long process..thats why I bought new wheels..
