Chromadora CD3

Post by katsi »

Anyone have a good Chromadora CD3 they would like to sell me :?: I had a blow out and it ruined one of mine :twisted: . Are they even repairable :roll: I now have a flat spot with a crack. Looks like it hit a rock or something - no missing metal or grinding. Just like it hit a rock when the tier blew and bent it and put a nice crack in it about 1/4 inch on the lip.

They can be welded and finished, but they can't be bent back in to shape. A specialty wheel shop can deliver the verdict on your damaged wheel.

It's amazing what can be done these days. Nu Wheel in Tucson does fantastic wheel repair work.

Good point, I wouldn't know how you weld any cracks in that. I've been to several car fires over the years and once burning is damb near impossible to put out. (purple K works)

I guess they use some sort of inert gas shield. All I know is ... it's done.
