Hi! I got some White CR Kai's that are getting out of control to clean.

Thinking of getting the painted professionally.

Only 1 rims got very minor gutter rash and the others just has paint chip near the wheel nut holes

Anyone know any good place on the westside near Keilor?

I got quoted at a panel beater $120 per rim, ( Take off/on tyre, Repaired, painted and balanced)

Is that a good price?

I was thinking of powder coating but i heard that if it starts to crack, its really cracks plus i have to get the tyre on and off plus they only paint not repair my rim too.

Any suggestions?

Bring it to Steve's Wheels in Berkshire Road in Sunshine. Ask for Zoran or Igore. Tell him Kevin with the R33 GTR sent you. They'll help you out. Great prices and service.

I went there today, they are alot dearer!

Charging close to $200 more than the panel beater.

Any other Powerdercoat places that repair rims?

Definitely go black rims...without the red stuff... just all black.

Really - and you said I sent you and they still gave you that price? Damn...

Try also Advanced Wheel Repairs in Richmond or Ajax wheels in the Eastern Suburbs. Give them a shot.

Good luck mate.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • 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?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • 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
