well reading the reviews on beyond, everyone has had a shitty deal with them. the paint flakes off after 2 weeks, and they dont do the best work. maybe ill just get new rims, and use my current ones for winter
also for that price, i could get brand new rims

ya my experiences with them have been good, but that was a few years ago. and ya fixing rims usually costs as much if not more then buying new ones.

apparently ever since the other rim repairing company here went under, they jacked their prices and do shitty work. ill look at aftermarket rims. i want them very similar to the ones i have, maybe even lnf rims

ah gotcha. I think the lnf rims are overplayed. I'd get the vortex rims. they look pretty nice
TSW by the way

I just spent an hour fighting with my car going into limp mode and a P1183 code.
Forgot to plug sensor on SC back in. Man it ran like ****! Stupid mistake haha. Relieved that it was only that.

ughh, i have to take my car apart some time in next couple weeks again. Shop who assembled my head must have installed the valve seals wrong, when i leave car overnight it smokes when i start it up. Once warm it quits burning oil. Leave one thing up to someone else and its installed wrong. Im going to run a leakdown just to confirm but ran compression tests and also ran compression test with putting some oil in cylnder and didnt change. It all points toward bad valve seals. pisses me off

Shouldn't be up to you to deal with the work... unless of course you just had your head rebuilt, and did R&R yourself.
