long story short. i had one of my wheels sent to a popular place in malaga to get it repaired for $220 (just one wheel) and got my other rims repaired and polished at the same time for a much much lower price.

the result? well i would just like to say Simon at WheelGleam in osborne park did a hell of a good job. not only was the service good but is fast. i ask for a date and it was picked up on that date, not like months like some places (not to name)

anyway i got the $220 one back and it was not polished properly at all, lazy got into the person whoo did them and the back side of the wheels where left dirty. they promised to take the wheels apart to do a proper job since its a 2 piece but they didnt. i have already called and complained.

on the other hand simon cleaned everything, fixed all the curb damages and the polishing was tops. i cannot be anyhappier/ and on top of all this i called him up and explained about my situation and he told me to drop the *sh-t job* wheel in so that he'll fix it up for me and told me to pick it up in 5 hrs.

NO i do not know simon (now i do) im just a really happy customer after the other shop F8cked me over. so whoever needs there wheel fixed, polished cleaned consider simon and give him a calll at Wheelgleam. hes number is 0411749451. or 94448338. and tell him richard from skylinesaustralia sent you so he can give you a good price.

and just in case no i dont think he can paint but you can ask.

richard.

i need some rims cleaned up. I'll give him a call

thanks

np ill post up pics tonight...

also simon is a one man army so the person that will fix/polish your wheels is the person you'll be addresing, makes life easier unlike other shops who have admins and get other workers to do the labour while they play with their nails.

+1 for pics.

Do you mind if I ask how much Simon charged you for the job?

lets just say per rim its more then half the asked price of the other place? should i be happy yes! the only reason why i dropped one of the wheels to the other place was because it had been bogged and unfortunately simon cant do that.

so here are the before and after pics. i forgot to take a pic to compare from simons work to the $220 one. but it looked like how it was before minus the curb damages. also i finally got to install my really $ volk formula nuts.

BEFOREas you can see besided the curb damage the dish has gone murky and has many visible scratches.

Which place in malaga?

I just had my ac schnitzers done at a place in malaga. $220 to fix all 4 wheel buckles (prev owner's wife can't park). (Not polish and do lip though).

Did a good job, 1 day turn around.
