azathoth Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Heya all So my wheels are really getting to me, I like them but they are just really dirty and ratty at the moment. They have a bit of gutter rash and the paint s coming off a few and they just never seem to be able to get clean. I really like them though and if I can get them repaired and resprayed in a stupid colour for less than another set of wheels I would like to do that. Are there any places in canberra that can do this and if so is it worth it. Wheels in question are a set of Rays Volk Challenges. cheers, Andy Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/383892-wheel-repairrepaint-in-canberra/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

TURISMO Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Wicked wheels in Qbn did my OZ racing wheels, fantastic job, matte black finish, as good as factory Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/383892-wheel-repairrepaint-in-canberra/#findComment-6123805 Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebra Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 yeah does all the prep work, if they have gutter rash etc I think he sends them to a 3rd party to be machined or whatever it is they do.

ryu1605 Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 If Jax in fyshwick still repair/reprint wheels that's where I got a seriously damaged rim on my old mr2 repaired a couple of years back. They did a really good job in the small time frame I gave them. If I remember correctly one of the guys on here in the ACT section works there now?

dontyellpl0x Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Digging up this old arse thread because I'd like to get my big rash fixed and a fresh set of paint, preferably the same colour on all rims unlike whatever the previous owner did.. Did you end up getting anything done Andy?

GTRKat Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Wicked wheels did a good job on my old Sparcos. Recommend powdercoating > painting though. WAY too easy for paint to come off wheels when you're getting tyres fitted etc. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/383892-wheel-repairrepaint-in-canberra/#findComment-6954564 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wicked wheels did a good job on my old Sparcos. Recommend powdercoating > painting though. WAY too easy for paint to come off wheels when you're getting tyres fitted etc. Thanks Kat, yeah I have heard about that happening. Powdercoating sounds expensive but will obviously be the better quality job ey. Will have to do some more research.

GTRKat Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 It really is worth it - the pain is a pain in the ass because people just aren't careful enough.

THE34T Posted August 4, 2013 Share Posted August 4, 2013 Yes I agree with Kat, Wicked Wheels did mine and did a great job I also agree re paint vs p/coat. Mine are painted and in general it's ok and they have lasted well, but it is a worry when it comes time to play with tyres or get a wheel alignment .. Powder coat for me next time.
