i recently put some 17" alloys on my 5 door corsa
they look good, but surprise surprise when theres passengers in the back the wheels rub on the arches.
im looking to have them rolled, but the corsa has a plastic border around the arch. can you still have the arches rolled with the plastic border still on.
and finally how much will it cost ? a rough idea.
thanks

Re: Rolling Arches
i looked into it a way back when i had my very first sri, and was told about 50 quid a wheel, far to expensive i thought!
do it urself mate, ive done it to all of mine now and dont get any probs, either snip the lip every couple of inches and flatten it back to the inside arch or if that aint good enuth grind the buggers off, i recomend grinding them off and then beating ur archs out with a lump hammer, worked a treat on mine, sounds harsh but works! u will need to take ur plastic archs off tho whilst doin it , 10 min job!
(oh and only hit on the bottom edge or u will bend the good bits not the coverd bit!)
