so true

Since you love wheels so much I thought it might be a good suggestion? Other than that I know I would use it, I've rolled most of my cars fenders, and probably every other car i will own.. hehe here's the website http://www.eastwood.com/shopping/pro...=fender+roller the price has come down a lot since 2 years ago!
Chris, I'd love to. Hell, I even needed one on both my cars and had to do it the old fashioned way (piecutting on the mustang and a BFH on the Z) I've seen the Eastwood piece and it does work, only problem is the liability. I know, you'll say it's okay I'll do the labor. etc. But when we bust the paint on the lip of some guy's Supra because we talked him into those 19" Racing Harts, he's not gonna be happy. I hear you guys loud & clear, but ELD2 will be strictly parts for awhile as I am the sole employee currently (not likely to change soon either) I'll see what I can do about getting one and renting it out if that would help?

RPM does have the equipment and offers the service. Drop by the shop anytime and they will hook you up.

Really, what kind of fender puller/roller do they use? Hammers or a baseball bat don't count.

I dont know what brand it is exactly but it looks pretty much the same as the one you posted a link to. Bolts onto the lugs has a few adjustments and a roller.

Hum, rolling fenders. Sounds interesting. Maybe when I step up to a x7, x8 stagger I'll do that.
