Anyone have a fender roller?

[ms3brendan]

I'm in the northeast Ohio area.. in Rocky River which is just a suburb of Cleveland. I'm in a semi-desperate need of a slight fender roll. I slapped on some RX-8 wheels with 235/40 star specs and I'm rubbin' some when I hit bigger bumps and for those who live around here, those are sort of hard to avoid sometimes. It's peeling strands off the outside of my brand new tires and I just need like a 10% roll so I don't want to buy a roller tool just for that.. So if anyone that could help me out, that would be GREAT!

you can rent one from street unit ....$50 rental, but they put a $300 hold on a credit card until they get it back

But don't I have to pay for shipping there and back? And I can't imagine shipping that thing is cheap..

 

[frenchy chan]

no i think they provide a return label

 

[ms3brendan]

In the description it says..

The billing credit card will be authorized for $300.00, upon rental return and inspection, the authorization is cancelled and the $49 plus shipping will only remain.

So I'm wondering what the plus shipping implies, both there and back or what.. So I just emailed them to find out. If it's free shipping both ways I'll most likely do this since it's a pretty good deal.

Ah. Gotcha.. Ya should ask 'em how much he paid overall for it and let me know!

 

[frenchy chan]

he doesn't really remember...i posted what he told me when i asked him...he said they gave him a return shipping label, but who knows if that is true

Too bad you weren't around here like 2 months ago. I had one for a while.

Oh... and just a reminder that mentioning SU on here is bad mmkay. They're banned from the site.

 

[frenchy chan]

why are they banned? i don't read any other parts to this site besides the ohio section

 

[THE Phen]

Long story, years ago. Shady customer service, shady business practices, as well as a few other things.

 

[frenchy chan]

yeah...i'm googling up some stories, but nothing really substantial yet....i don't know if my fiance ever had problems with them, though, but i wouldn't be surprised since we have issues with EVERY company that we deal with...seriously, i could write a book about all the terrible things that has happened with ordering parts, etc for our mazda....we often think of selling the thing because it must be cursed

 

[ms3brendan]

I've ordered from SU twice now and it has always been excellent Customer Service and fast shipping times. Maybe they've improved over the years.

 

[THE Phen]

I'm sure, but they're still banned on here, so we really can't talk about them on here.

 

[frenchy chan]

i think it's stupid to be afraid of talking about a company on here...it's not like we are the company itself, posting stuff...don't worry about it! in my google searches, there are still threads talking about su

but i did notice that it wouldn't let me post their website...guess that's 'cause they are banned...oh well

 

[THE Phen]

I know, but I'm just upholding my moderator duties.

Thou shalt not talk about banned vendors, especially if referencing someone to renting a tool from them. Sorry. Just doing my job.

If you make it to the columbus area I have a east wood fender roller.

Hey I'm also looking for a Fender roller, or possibly someone that knows the "Rawlings" method really well. I got a MS3 and put RX-8 wheels on too 225/45...damn Ohio roads!! Full car + big bump = Fu@#^$##$%#$%#!!! Not only did I rub, but when the suspension compressed, the wheel traveled past the fender and pulled it out when it retracted. Then I hit another bump and the metal sticking out sliced the edge of my tire a tiny bit. I put my stock wheels back on asap after that.

So if anyone can help I appreciate it!
