i know how to tig weld.. but i dont want to weld a rim.i dont know anyone that would do the job, i'm in the construction industry until my car audio shop warehouse is built in december/january

miami is probably where yu'll have to take it.. north miami in 3 hours.. south miami in 5 hours, if you do it in the middle of the night, or take the turnpike, it's a 5 day trip on i-95.

driving from lake worth to hialieah takes about 3 hours on a good day.

Even if you would, do you own/have access to an aluminum welder?

yeah.. in shop class :/ i'm too old to go there now. i'm buying a regular welder on oct 1st at this huge sale, it's like 100 bucks, who knows how good it'll be, i want it for my van project... that wont help you though.

what kind of rim is it? it'll cost you 75 bucks to drive down there just in gas maybe more + a whole day.. is it worth all that?

You mean a Tig welder? They are quite common. I own one.

is this deal for real?

 

[mikescanlon 10+ year member]

yes the deal is for real.. yes it is a XXX subwoofer, no it has nothing to do with resonant engineering.

tig welds are common.. but i mean not everyone has one like you'd have pencils and paper.. he needs someone to weld a rim

It's an Enkei Gattling, yes it would be worth the money, considering it will cost $1000+ for a new set of rims and I wont get shit for my old set.

You cant find a single one for sale anywhere to replace the damaged one? Im sure google could come up with something.

Try google for yourself. The rims are no longer in production, and were only made for about 6 months...

Theres a few pics floating around some threads, but I'll post one...

And many say my rims are ugly, but they really do look better in person, so please dont hate:crap:

i actually like the rims, thats the best looking buick i have ever seen. honestly. any interior work done?

i dont like american cars, but i like the interiors, the way they are set-up, very comfortable and usable.

i bet that thing gives a pretty comfortable ride. even on those rims, looks like you have plenty of tire still. maybe lower it an inch or so from the looks of that pic?

from what i hear, buick/chevy/gm/ford cars all are waaay easy to replace the alternator to a HO alternator, i'd be interested to help with the install so i could learn a bit, and i know how un-fun car work can be if you're doing it alone anyway.

Was gonna hate but my car got stolen because of my rims, so at lest you have some.

 

[mikescanlon 10+ year member]

i think they look good on that car.

those aren't the ones you want welded are they?... cause if i'm not mistaken chrome = steel? someone please correct me if i'm wrong.. but you cant chrome aluminum i believe.

They are the set I need a weld on. They are 3 piece rims, so the center piece is crhome (and steel), but the barrel of the rim is aluminum.

I would like a drop, maybe later though. I have not done anything to the interior as of yet, not sure exactly what to do anyway. I do not have the alt yet either, should be ordering it next week or later this week, I'll let you know when it gets in. I would like someone to help out a bit. The alt is in an easily accessible place too //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
