Welcome to the THREE.8.WERKS Forum. Login to access the message boards.

The 6th Annual eurothon is behind us. This event is all about a good time, seeing friends that you haven't seen since last season and catching up. There were the usual People's Choice Awards and the Dr. Ferdinand Porsche PROPER Award going to "Cosmic Bunny" Ivan.
Empire City Raceway and Casino played host to some of the sickest euros from the area and beyond. We're already lined up for 2010. Hope to see you there!

TO chcek, does the shop do a test where they dunk the rim in water and see if bubbles float up?

I think the shop fills the tire with so much air pressure that it blows up. <!~~ ha...kidding

Depending on how small the crack is on that rim, it could be a hairline....just too small to see maybe.

That Hazard coverage issh you got Kev, it only covers your tires and not the rims? I have coverage on both my wheels and my tires. ShyT, I even have coverage on dings and dents around my car too. :bnna:

Kev, get your self a spray bottle fill it with soap & water. Start spraying the tire and around the rim, bubbles will start forming where the leak is. At lease this way you will have a idea where the leak is coming from. :mrgreen:

Kev, I think that's what Ed meant for you to do! Is take your tire off and check it with the soap and water spray bottle!
