Got some damage on my Rays Volk Formula 17's, gutter rash on 3 wheels.

Does anybody know a professional "wheel beater" or someone who knows how to fix these in Melbourne? I'm also missing one of the golden caps and one of the rings around the golden cap, also seeking those 2 items.

Or does anybody have a set of these wheels they are selling?

Here is a pic:

PM me as well as posting here!!

there was a discussion the other day about this over SAU-Vic Exec mail... someone should just copy/paste

had all the top info you ask for!

If i was @ work i'd do it.

So sit tight till tomorrow, someone will see this and slap it up

I had some rims re-rolled at this place.

Ajax Motor Wheels

Cnr Exley Drv & Ewar St, Moorabbin

VIC, 3189

They were quick and reasonably priced compared with another one I checked out.

They told me exactly what they were going to do and when they would be ready.

Just a couple of nice old guys running the place, but professional enuf for an old workshop.

I don't think they will fix major gutter rash thou. But they were talking about a welder they got to do some work on that sort of thing, so I would give them a call or pop in with the rim and see what they say. They will be able to point you in the right direction.

Also if it's just minor gutter rash, it's pretty easy to clean that up yourself with a decent small toothed file.

My right rear seems to wobble a bit when in motion...I think it might be the small chunk that the previous owner took out, which causes it to not be perfectly round when spinning, giving the illusion that its wobbling....If its something more serious like a buckled rim, are the places listed in here the kinds of joints I need to be talking to for my rim, or are there other specialists etc for it?

Never mind, I just read the services they offer so if mine is buckled they're who I need to see...

However if anyone knows of any on the west side that'd be better :)

Try these guys

Did a repair on my front rims. Awesome job, but can be a little exxy.

They repaired both the passenger wheels lips on one of my cars and the repair came up better than the factory job on the otherside. Highly recomended.

i got a set of steel rims all fixed up from that ajax place

awesome job they were buckled n had dints in the lip and all fixed them up a1

try them out, if not i have heard advance alloy repairs r good but bit pricey, good luck :(

Oh yeah dezz, im all about being stingy :D

Can any1 post up some prices of what it cost them to fix their rims?

Also do any of these places also modify rims? Say if i wanted to change my spokes from chrome to shadow chrome or gunmetal?

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
