Where to Buy a Fender Roller?

[Xren17]

Where can I get a fender roller beside wheelchoice? They're out of stock right now and I don't want to wait until they get their next shipment.

[Dousan_PG]

japan...GTO sells them

not much at all in the USA that i can think of...did you search online already?

[Heartwork]

i have one for sale....

$1,2000

muhahhahaha

cant think of any other place that stocks them....
but Wheelchoice seems to carry at least one a month

[ootranceformeroo]

$1,2000? you mean.....$12,000 or.....$1,200? heheh Ill pick it up if its $1,200! :)

[Xren17]

Yeah, I've checked online and couldn't find a place that had them in stock.
1,200? haha. Just reminded me of ebay. I was going to bid on a used one
and by the time the auction ended it was at 511! There's plenty of idiots in
this world.

Dousan, do you happen to have the GTO website? If it's more
than 350, I'll just give wheelchoice a call and see if I can reserve one from
the next shipment. Thanks,

[ca18guy]

Your local sporting goods store should have one ;)

[DRFT]

by that you mean a bat right ;)

[ootranceformeroo]

yup! if it comes down to it....use a bat....but do a good job with it.

Jesus, what makes a fender roller a couple hundred dollars!?

[Heartwork]

Jesus, what makes a fender roller a couple hundred dollars!?

it does wonders....
pulling is achievable, easy to use, and convenient....

[Dousan_PG]

obviously you dont know what it is used for...

not ROLLING, but more PULLING (as heartwork said)

XREN, check with Group 5 motorsports here in San Diego. They said they would be able to get one.

what the hell do they look like? this mysterious device has me baffled.

[deviousKA]

I built my own using a stanza wheel, super hard nylon roller, adjustable arm. Its all steel and it doesnt look pretty but it does the same thing for around $10.

you take off your wheel, it bolts to your hub and has an arm that extends to your fender and applies pressure with a little roller... rolls the fender and flares it at the same time... do a google...

bad ass website, need to order a few things!

[slideways240]

i can't see how those things work without exploding the hub. i can understand just flattening the lip, but actually making more room? i had to put some serious force on my fenders with this bad boy to get them to move,i only moved them about an inch and a half.

now see, what you SHOULD do, is organize a group buy!!!

[heated heavy]

quick question...does heating the fender actually help bend it better or is it just for preventing the paint from cracking/chipping??

yes.......

[drift into a curb]

To prevent the paint from cracking/chipping, make a tiny slit with a razor blade along the edge of the lip you're rolling. It'll keep the paint from stretching and cracking.

aa87 thanks for the website, I tried searching online too but was unsuccessful. Time to go get a fender roller.

[aa87]

Yeah, no problem, i saw it at supraforums.com, i think, and i noticed it was a place you could actually buy for a decent price, not rent it or anything, so i knew zilvia would want it.
