I was looking through a PHR from last year when I saw this cool lip rolling tool TireRack.com sells.

Fender Lip Rolling Tool

It's pretty expensive, but way cool. I'm going to call a couple of wheel & tire places in my area and see if they're aware of them.

What do y'all think?

 

I think that eastwood sells the same kit, not sure if it is cheaper though?

 

Eastwood what?

 

Here's a cheaper one:

 

errm, The Eastwood Company?

 

I guess you've never seen a lip screwed up by rolling it with a baseball bat or round piece of pipe. I have; lots of times.

50 bucks cheaper; still too expensive for a single car owner to buy, but it'd make A LOT of sense for a custom wheel and tire shop to have one.

Eastwood Company: Auto Tools, Body Repair, Classic Car Restoration, House of Kolor Paint, Powder Coating

 

Sorry I didn't throw out a link to Eastwood, I was in a little bit of a hurry.

One thing you might think about doing is asking all your buddies if they might want it done, and charge them a fee to use it, then sell it to a body shop or tire and wheel shop. You might just get you fender lips rolled really cheap with a little work.

What in the heck size wheels and tires are you putting on there that will require rolling the lips?

 

There was group of folks on a website I visit thinking of getting a lip roller as a group and just passing it around, maybe having others outside the group to rent it too. Kinda iffy though, not everyone can used tools without breaking them.
