Lol I think My rims would need more than that....I read an article in zoom about a place that did it and they also welded up big chunks that were missing....might try and find the magazine (fingers crossed)

Duncan which shop did you use if you remember and what cost roughly?

Cheers

an engineer will put the wheels on a metal lathe and machine down the lip until its flush... they do a good job too...

as far as scratches on the rest of the mag if they are alloy a bodyworks can fix them by filling scratches and large gowges with a good body filler and hit it with 2k paint... 2k being quite hard... will bring it up nice and new looking... as long as they match the colour up well to suit the other wheels.

cost for engineer can be very exspensive.... but if you ring around you might get someone to machine lip for around $70 - $100 a rim (depending on size too, anything over 17inch will be to big for many lathes

bodyworks will fix scratches and gowges for around the same price...

depending on how damage your rims are you might need to do both...

are they bent? if impact has happened it may be out of round...

there is a guy in ingleburn industrial area if your in the campbelltown area his pretty good and cheap as well...got my work rim done when i turned into the gutter n left about a 1cm dent...think it was $60 with pulling tyre off and re balancing it.

found it in whitepages:

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
