Tire 240mm ....

[SEXT9]

I put the buildup form in with the wheel. After tracking the package to their facility, I waited a few days for them to call. I finally just called them to verify it was received and gave them my credit card information.

Today I was calling to both Kosman phone numbers. No one answered me.

I talked to KOSMAN today and they don't do wheels anymore they gave a number for chuck who does it now and he doesn't answer the phone.

Last week Sandy gave me a phone number of the business owner, and he really does not answer. But this morning I've done with a successful call, he said that he will call me tomorrow with information about my rim.

He didn't call me today. [down] Maybe they have lost my wheel? [confused]

 

[Catmostfeared]

Yes, this is the phone number Sandy gave me, and Chuck didn't give me a call today. I hope they use the same address, because there is a notice on the Kosman web page about location changing. I sent my rim to the address shown in the weldup form.

 

[Catmostfeared]

TPEHAK any luck finding your wheel

 

[TPEHAK]

Chuck still does not answer the phone.

Great news, Chuck sent me notification that my rim is ready for welding and sent me a couple pictures with prepared rim and new flanges. Now I am going to clarify how can I pay for the job.

First of all I ordered a rear tire Pirelli Diablo Custom 240 Radial Rear Tire - 240/40ZR-18 from here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001CD6MGA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Then I ordered a used rim on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=281349259144&ssPageName=STRK:MERFB:IID

Then I bought Tusk Bearing Remover Collet 30mm here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004FGWQ34/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and slide hammer here http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004FGWHZQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and removed all old bearings, bearing spacer and nipple.

Then I washed the rim with WD40

Then I added stickers on the rim, filled the Kosman wedup form and sent it to Kosman

This is my rim prepared for welding

I'm still waiting my rim back. Two months ago I sent the rim to the Kosman.

 

[Catmostfeared]

I was told I will get my rim back from Rim Spec in 12 days [up]

Today I was calling to Chuck from KOSMAN and he says that my rim will be sent this Friday. He sent me a couple pictures with my welded rim:

Chuck says that he is not sure how I can pay for the job. I have a Bank of America debit card and I am not familiar with paying system. How did you pay for the job? Can I send a check by mail from post office?
