Title: hts 2000 on aluminum wheels??
Post by: toyolla86 on September 13, 2010, 03:40:04 PM

so ive seen somebody on here using that aluminum rod similar to the hts 2000.

i just found out that my bbs wheels that i have been planning on running are pitted and
wont hold air. rather than trash them and getting new ones that are quite expensive i was thinking
about trying out this hts 2000 stuff.

however its on bbs XR aluminum (forged or cast) wheels. not sure how that will affect the strength of the metal.

any input is greatly appreciated. that rod costs like 65 bucks for a little beginner package. i guess jc whitney sells a similar product for cheaper.

I used that stuff on an HX rim.  It seamed to hold at first but poped out when I stated to grind it down.  Just JBWeld it.
