Wheel Repair

[azathoth]

Hey again all,

The previous owner of my 34 was a braille parker and one wheels has some serious gouges out of the rim but only cosmetic the rest jsut a few nicks here and there.

There is no structural damage and nothing is bent. I want to get them resprayed because I really do like them and have no want for any other wheels.

I'm looking for a place in Canberra that can repair or grind away the chips and gouges before I send them away to get sprayed.

Has anyone had rims repaired in canberra or possibly resprayed or should I be looking interstate?

Cheers,

Andy

Yep had a similar problem with my wheels, had them repaired and painted at Wicked Wheels, did a good job. Then I was freekin paranoid and parked a metre from the kerb for the next 6 months!!

i deal with rallimax through work, great guys but they only do straightening, not cosmetic repairs. we send people to wicked wheels.

As above rallimax straighten rims, they leave alloy rims with bad surface bruising when removing flat spots etc and they don't deal in fixing cosmetics. most spray shops fix gutter rash and respray rims. I'm not sure if it's wicked wheels but one mob turn up in a big yellow van and take your wheels off, break the front bead of the tyre, mask the tyre and then repair, prep and respray in the back of the van. Just plain old silver alloy wheels though. If you got polished alloy dish or similar your up for some bucks. Spot on wheel repair in unanderra (near Wollongong) are the best in the game at all repairs and finishes.

oh cool. I'd say it might cost i bit for me as they are white volks so i'd say they would need to be stripped after they get repaired. I might give wicked wheels a call this week. I should probably track down another set of wheels to use when i send these away before that though.

spot on are expensive though, we stopped sending things to them because their prices were getting beyond the value of the rim in most cases.
