Heya all :banana:

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

Oh wicked.

I might give him a buzz after I sort rego tomorrow because I dig my wheels, just not the dirty scab by look they have.

I take it he does the bead blasting and all the prep work too yeah?

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?

  • 1 year later...

Digging up this old arse thread because I'd like to get my big rash :blush: 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?

Cheers

Probably doesn't help, but this is related. --->> http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/387678-got-a-rash/?hl=+got++rash#entry6184130

or get some Kneadit Steel and fix / paint them DIY style.

It Works! (Remember those R32 Rims?) ;)

Cheers Rob, not what I wanted to read haha. Might look into diy if it's going to cost as much to repair as it would to fix.

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.

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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
