coullstar 0 Posted September 8, 2008 Might have the chance of some Pro Race 1.2 17in alloys and whilst i like the look Im not to keen on the writing round the rim, just seems bit naff to me. Going to have them in matt black if I do buy so might try and see if I can fill them in with something. Does anyone know of a filler etc that I could fill in the writing with then sand back before painting? Also do you think matt black would look ok on a Dragon green car?

boost monkey 0 Posted September 8, 2008 you could use Liquid Metal on the wheel lettering, it's like a 2-part metal glue/filler I think. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philuk 0 Posted September 8, 2008 yea i rekon chemical metal would be your best bet mate! if not then some sort of 2k bodyfiller! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 10, 2008 Nice wheels, will look great on a green car imo. See how deep the embossed text is when you get them. Team Dynamics would have made the rim a bit thicker to account for the lettering, so you might just be able to shave the rim down a bit in a lathe......or if you're feeling brave, stick a wheel on a front hub and sand it with the engine running :D Chemical metal should bond in OK though.

coullstar 0 Posted September 10, 2008 From pictures the writing would appear to deep for turining down, liking the idea for sanding the rim though. Might just give it a try. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 10, 2008 Or you can use the rear hub to lathe the wheel on, a little safer :D I've "turned down" a few parking dings in wheels using this method, works quite well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted September 11, 2008 well heres a set for sale £100 http://www.edition38.com/forums/index.p ... pic=177107 and when i refurbed my RC's i used Mettalik from halfords for building up the rim that had some deep curb marks, its been perfect for over 7months.

coullstar 0 Posted September 11, 2008 Yeah thats exactly what Ive got but with 4 nearly new tyres for not much more. Will try this chemical metal on one letter first then spray them satin black to see what its like. Hopefully these will be as light as the 1's.
