Anyone able to roll arches?

'V' · 08-19-2014, 02:51 AM

Well, put my new wheels on and they look awesome! However, because of the agressive offsets I'm rubbing on big bumps, usually at motorway speeds.

Pretty sure it's rubbing on the arch so wondered if anyone on here had the tools to roll my arches. May as well get it done as I want to lower a little too but that'll be later

I'm in stockport so someone in the northwest area would be good.

Cheers

"Arch Enemy" http://www.archenemy.co.uk/ there franchised but the experience I had down here was good

Yeah I've seen them. Thought that was pretty pricey tho, or is that about average?

No idea really re pricing I'm afraid but I'd rather pay them than cause issues to my bodywork they done a decent job and somewhere on line I've got some pics too they were very thorough

Normally it's £15-20 per corner, however on e92 it's not enough you also need to cut the joint between bumper and arch.

Sure as hell wouldnt catch me doing that on my E92!!

I dont think £100ish is bad for the pair of arches tbh.

i paid £60 for dips @ custom cars to do my rears... styledynamics costs around the same... i wouldn't pay more because you can pick up an arch roller on ebay for a little more and it's pretty easy work with a heat gun...

'V' · 08-19-2014, 03:59 AM

Yeah think I'll give the metal pole a miss LOL!!!!

Shame they're not near me

Josh1a1h · 08-19-2014, 04:12 AM

Paid about £90 from arch enemy... Quite a lot, but did a gd job and came to my house

kev335i · 08-19-2014, 06:46 AM

Phil from archenemy did mine fantastic job cost 90 quid but I was so happy that he went out of his way to get mine done that I have him a score on top for a drink. You can buy the kit to do it yourself for about that money however would you prefer to do it yourself or have someone that's done it hundreds or thousands of times before. Couldn't recommend him enough

If you don't heat the arch you can mess up your paint from what I'm seeing with other examples.

I'd like to get mine done as my left rear wheel is rubbing over some bumps with a 15mm spacer on. Only the left rear. Nowhere else.
I guess the cambre of the road could be one reason. Slightly more weight on the left side. Plus that's usually where the holes in the road are.

It is, the arch roller cost £70-75 new, you can buy, do the arches and easy sell for £50. I've done it my self and it's very easy job, cost me nothing.

AWSAWS · 08-20-2014, 09:50 AM

Would this cause problems selling the car on? Would anyone even notice or think to ask?

I asked a local mechanic about rolling arches and he pretty much panicked. Oh you don't want to go modifying bodywork he said.

Did you sell your roller?

Sounds like he has no idea what he talking about.
I've borrowed the roller from a friend.
