Default New Wheels!!!!
Well as ya'll know I have been looking for wheels for a while, and I finally got the ones I wanted. I don't have my camera now, but as soon as I do I will post pics. I got HRE 545Rs 17 x 10 in the front, and 18 x 11 in the back, they look great, but this is where I need help from someone on the board. Does anyone local have one of the tools I can use to roll my rear fenders??? If you do how much will you charge for me to use it. If not that what are some body shops that could do that kind of work for me??

Thomas

Edit: These are the skinny 5 spoke wheels, not the split 5 spoke.

I used Tony's heat gun and fender roller when I did mine. Worked great.
