just a word of warning about powder coating there are alot of places that do it but you really need to go to a wheel repair place who knows the right powder coater.

reason powder coating is an art & if mix wrong or baked to long problems happen like chiping from stress (you know good powder coating when you can hit it straight on & it doesn't chip). also wheels need to be beed blasted (not sand) to give paint a good surface to grip (my ZZR1100 wheels are powder coated blue & you can smash then & no chips because they were done right)

i didn't mention it because the place i got my bike wheels done is a old friend but he is as slow as a squashed snail getting anything done & i don't know if he does car mags but his buss is spoked wheel repairs 9153 9700 peakhurst.

he has strip tank & beed blasting then he sends away for powder coating (he has some person he uses but he tends not to let on because he wants money)

before giving over your wheels to anybody ask to look at some they have done but most wheel repair places spray 2 pak & clear no powder coat.

hope this helped.

I got quotes ranging from $80 - $120 per rim to remove gutter rash and restore the finish on some 17" GTR rims.

I sent photos to the guys at www.rebelwheels.com.au for one quote and they were very helpful. [email protected].

peakhurst is a shit load closer to where i live, but i like the idea of online quotes!!!

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
