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?

[Primordial]

Pushing my memory, but i think in the vicinity of $60-80...

Best place for a rimjob (so ive heard) is Mag Man, never used him though so not sure if its a good job or not

Ive got 4 wheels that need a recoating, Jon what exactly was done to yours? I want mine sandblasted then sprayed black and lip polished

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.

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

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

[PORTS]

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.

[russky]

Man, I am getting majorly ripped off with Jax it seems... 200 bucks... And they are taking over a week now...

[HuH]

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!
