Wheel Repairs

[nerm]

I have an 18x8.5 Work Equip 3 piece rim that is leaking air. Does anyone know where to get this fixed locally?

I have contaced Wicked Wheel out in QBN but was advised that they didnt know much about the 3 piece wheels. There is a place in Wollongong calle Spot on Wheel Repairs that can do it but that would involve getting the wheel out there an all the costs involved with that.

Would really appreciate an information that anyone can provide.

Cheers

the rim is leaking from the join somewhere in the middle.. not from the edge where the rim meets the tyre

it will need to be resealed, tyre removed then the sealent redone, will need to take it to a tyre place for that one

well bob jane in belconnen were the ones that diognosed the problem and they told me that they couldnt do it

To what extent can people repair damaged wheels? My Sparcos have severe gutter rash on them from their days in Japan that I'd really love to get fixed so they can be re powder coated.

I've had a set of wheels repaired and then sand blasted ready for powder coating at The wheel Factory in/behind Jax/Quickfit in Fyshwick.
