Mine have been on for about 17 years and are still strong, and that's through many years of track and road use with several sets of tires and wheels with various offsets. You know, rubbing the flares now and again. No problems after they were relieved, but the shop that did the flare work left in the rivets. I didn't know that of course until lately.
The different expansion rates eventually crack and bubble the paint/substrate. Whichever solution you use, leave no metal in there or you'll be patching it... down the road. Good Luck! RKM |
