The only one I know about and can recommend (because I've used them) is Wheel Repair Centre, 8 Pioneer ave Thornleigh, 02 99801125.

Did a good job of repairing my cracked rim.. Done a few track days on it since and it's held up perfectly.

What did it cost?

I've heard you can get a good rimjob from a place in Kings Cross too!

I had a crack that went all the way through the outer part of the rim. It released air very quickly, so it was a fairly large crack. They welded it up, and filed it back. It wasnt a particularly flashy finish on the rim - just a matte aluminium, so they just polished it up and it came out looking good as new. There was weld marks on the inside of the rim where they didnt clean it up as nicely, but it was obviously like that because it isnt visible..

I cant comment on their finishes as mine wasnt really all that difficult.. but from the quality of the work that i saw I would recommend them.

the one from '241' just doesn't cut it, eh?

Nah, she's getting a bit old - its been a few months, time for someone new

I just picked up 2 of my cracked rims from Magman, $85 each.

Damn thats cheap! Did he just fix the crack or fix and recoat?

He rewelded and built up the cracked area, turned down on a lathe, applied some inner compound to aid sealing

and refitted tyre, although he didn't balance but no biggie. Nice job for little money. Both of my rims had inner cracks,

so no worries about finish, although he does refurbish completely. Many on the aus300zx forum have used him over the years.

I'd recommend the guys at Thornleigh as well. I've used them twice and both times they've done an exceptional job. Fair price for the work they do. They also manage to perfectly match the unique bronze colour of my wheels, which impressed me!

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
