woah nasty

try Neways Wheel Repairs

9457 3141

Heidleberg West near la trobe uni in Bundoora

they just repired my ssr mk1s which had a fair bit of gutter rash, nowhere as bad as that :rofl:

but yeh they are pretty good and reasonable price, dunno how you will go with that though

best to take it in to them and see what they can do

edit: website

2 or three peice? either way, new outters could be the way to go.

Wheel Solutions

9427 9265

560 Church St

Richmond Victoria

They deal with BBS 3 peice rims alot...

another option: http://www.advancedalloys.com.au/home/

well my 'advanced' repair peels off just after 3 months... what a rip off...

I'm going to re-repair mine, this time taking it to Neway which cost cheaper than the other place which I thought was more 'advanced'... won't name it here but you get a clue from my quotes....

Craig @ Color Ur Mags gets an awesome rap (he's a bit eccentric though):

What Jules said, i've seen some of the work he has done and its A1

although it might be worth seeing if you can locate a new rim

if it was a three piece wheel i'd say see my sig. it's where i work.

OT, but how much is it approx for a BBS RS style front lips approx 2-3" wide for a 17" rim

just something i was wanting to find out to see what is cheaper, to have some spun or purchase from overseas later on when i decide to rebuild the wheels

approx $150.00 - $180.00

I got my SE37K rims repaired and powder coated by Craig about 6 months ago... Very well priced compared to the well known shitty job rip offs around the corner in Moorabbin (refer to rs73's post in this thread)...

If you search my topics you'll find the rims for sale (which are now sold :D) and you'll see the work Craig did.

Cheers,

Andy

How much does this guy normally charge for removing gutter rash and powdering coating rims? I sent him an email, but I honestly have no idea how much powder coating, or gutter rash removing costs in general. $500, $1000, more?

Cheers.

^ It cost me $125ea rim to strip back, repair gutter rashes, prep and power coat. $500 total for 4 of my rims :P

Read up on his website which tells you what he does... Very informative, although most things have been updated using latest processes/technology.

One thing I liked about his method in stripping the current paint work is not by sand blasting and instead dipping the rims into some form of solvent or some sh!t... Just read up about it!

Cheers,

Andy

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
