Miguel Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Well spotted ..altho grinding them down does stop this before you roll them. Not so much grind them so you weaken but enough to get rid of the bulbous spot weld that slipped past Toyota quality control. They are usualy preety good with the spots TBH ..altho you cant vouch for if the car has had a 1/4 on it at some point and they have been spotted with a mig instead of a proper spotter. Good call tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguel Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Can be depending on condition of paint and how low your car is. It's basicaly a big ol roller that clamps to your hub with ajustments and you roll it rounds ajusting the angle until you have either flushed your arches or gone widebody LOL. Works to warm up the paint too other wise it has been know to crack and flake the paint off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
