Default Fender Roll

Anyone know of someone that is GOOD at rolling fenders (preferably familiar with S2000's) in the greater Cleveland area?

I'm about to buy wheels and will need a roll.

I do, first name Louisville, last name slugger

That is how I did mine and it worked out, but I used a heat gun and am pretty sure I am the exception

I've seen this posted a couple times over the past 2-3 years. Not sure if anybody had a good shop lined up. There was a shop listed in the Ohio Shops/Service thread. Maybe that would help?

Sorry for asking a redundant question, I'm using the IB AutoGroup app and it only lets me load 30 threads before freezing.

I can't justify using a heat gun and slugger, I've seen too many wrecked fenders over the years lol.

I hope you didn't take my post too sarcastically. What I meant was, I'm not sure if you are going to get any good recommendations from the Ohio forums. I've seen several threads on this and never a good consensus. Only help I've seen is the posted above in the Shops/Service thread. Maybe somebody in Cleveland could prove me wrong?

And I agree on the IB app. Hopefully we get transitioned over to VBulletin very soon and can switch to a better supported app for mobile.

What's your goal for non-OEM wheels? Plenty of good tires will fit the OEM wheels. I hate to see a car buggered with rolled fenders for "stance" and other ricer stuff.

I didn't sense any sarcasm, I felt like you were just lending some knowledge. I appreciate the insight as I've been looking and can't find a reliable place. A friend of mine has a roller and I've read the DIY threads about rolling and I'm going to do it myself and keep my car STR legal.

I just picked up BBS LM's 17x8 17x9 +45/42

I've been running 215/245 and am going to on the new set until they're toast. Then I may go to a larger tire depending on fitment. My car is currently corner balanced on stock wheels and eventually I will want to autox or road race it.

Heat is your friend. I rolled mine flat and put POR-15 on the back side as I was perinoid about water getting trapped and rusting. You can get a tiny can pretty cheap on eBay. Just something to consider.

I'm not in Cleveland but I roll fenders. (with the proper tools) I really dont like messing with fronts but I've been able to get a little extra clearance out of them.
