I know it's a bit ghetto, but have you thought about putting a tube in your tyre till the replacement arrives??
Tyre, wheels fine (thank god). Yeah its got some cracks and a chunk missing out of the tyre down to the belt which apparently can't be fixed.
All ready blown the budget for these wheels as it is ha ha.
Cheers mate, Pain in the ass but it looks like its going to be well worth it, specially as i was quoted $1.2k for the same job. Was meant to be a bit smaller in size as its mainly for quality but eh what the hey. If you can't tell from the pics the sub goes in the right and the amps in the square there just showing the top.
:O

They don't balance as easily, and depending on the damage to the bead, you may need to drive a little easier on that wheel, but other than that they should be fine...

Lol yes, saw that.
I have nitrogen in my tyres too. I'm not sure of the benefits either, I certainly haven't noticed any difference but then again I'm not that well tuned into these things haha. As you said $8 can't hurt much. Only downside is I have to go back to Bob Janes, can't check pressures etc at the petrol station and so on.
Hopefully see you on Saturday.

Hmm well took it to another place yesterday to have a look and second opinion and they said they would glue it up and give that a shot. Its holding pressure. Not sure how comfortable i am with it though. May still look at getting it replaced.
Haha tell me about it, Still lots more to go... unfortunately
Nitrogen is larger therefore less leakage, More stable than air with heat and that and some other stuff but not much i guess.
Will see me satHopefully with the sub box ready and the rims good to go (for that day)
