    Default mag wheel engraving????

    can anyone tell me if it's possible to have the face of a mag engraved?? i borrowed my sisters car and my boyfriend damaged one of her mags and they have the word tennacious engraved on the front i can get a replacement mag for it but not with the tennacious engraved on the face. they want $300 to repair the wheel and the whole set only cost my sister $1000 with tyres and lock nuts...

    you can ebgrave just about anything, it's just a matter of matching up the fonts, which can suck if the other wheels are written freehand... also mags are generally more expensive to buy individually than as a set, not much you can do about that really.

    pretty sure if you take it to the key cutters they will engrave anything you bring to them.

    Contact an engineering/machining company who specialise in CNC machining,but it would be pretty pricey for a 1 off though id say.

    They will say I hope you have a fat wallet...

    Getting anything CNC'd is a very pricey exercise indeed. Probably cheaper to buy a set of the un-engraved ones. Good luck with it mate...
