    Damaged Wheel

    I have an aluminum rim that was not torqued down properly and it came loose so I now have a bunch of huge egg shaped holes. I think I have heard of people getting inserts or something like that done. Anybody know where to go?

    Maybe you can get the person you was supposed to torque down the wheels to pay for the repairs or the possible replacement rim. There is an aluminum wheel repair facility in Surrey/Port Kells area called Nu-Brite Industries. You can call them at 604-888-3630 or try e-mailing nubrite@telus.net
    Good luck...

    That Sucks......Personally, I think I would be looking for a replacement wheel, and the (non)respondsible party. Good luck.

    Here's the bad news..............if that wheel has to be replaced, the SRT8 Super Bee wheels are around $1300.00 each.................Ask Mean Bee about this as he replaced a bent/cracked wheel just recently...............Plus they are not that easy to find as they differ from the Stock SRT8 rims................

    Dude, don't ever scare the crap out of me again like that...I think we all thought it was the Bee...when an LX gets damaged it affects us all. We all went though that a little ways back with Mean bee, we weren't the same until it was fixed...I feel sorry for the 4x4 but I will sleep tonite!!! LOL.
    Again, good luck in getting it fixed.
    How about we organize a cruise out to the valley one weekend???
