depending on how bad the gutter rash is, it may be posible for the rim place to put some touch up paint on them. I'm pretty sure the rims u got were done at alliance rim repair in osborne park. doubt they would charge much if they just touch it up with paint, but if they need to machine the lip and weld it up, then it may be expensive.

The last time I had one of the mentioned workshops above fix a rim, it actually looked worse than when I dropped it off. Paint runs, and cracks even :S Wouldn't be going back there thats for sure.

I kerbed one of my rear rims a couple weeks ago while parking, left like a 7cm scrape mark. Annoyed me at first, but oh well sh*t happens and life goes on.

IMO, I wouldn't repair your rim just yet (give it some time, just incase you do more damage to it) and from memory its ~$80+ per rim to repair.

Leo Gommer Engineering did a awesome job repairing some rims I bought. He doesn't fix up paint but if you half handy with a spray can it isn't all that hard to fix it up yourself.

He was very well priced as well considering the amount of work he did, very recommended >_<

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up

      You have a knack for photography my friend. It makes the 86 look like a complete bucket. The 34 went with you to Europe and back. It's special. (we all feel the same about our 'shitboxes' that every bystander seems to absolutely love)
