Rim repair

[jnr_j]

Found my rear left delfating even with my new tyres. Turns out the rim has a small crack in it.

Can anyone recommend a place to take the rim for repair?

I'm told it can be welded and will be like new.

actually i was about to ask a similar question to this, i do know of a place in canberra that does this, i think they are a married couple that run their own business?

and if you dont mind me hi-jacking ur thread, does anyone also know of somewhere that can repair gutter scratches and polish my rims? again sorry to hi_jack.

I wouldn't mind having a few rim scratches fixed up too if it was cheap, but I was told it's not worth the bother for how much it'd cost. Depends what your rims are worth of course...

I was quoted $150 for the rim repair by the place where I bought my tyres (they send it off to Qbyn somewhere). Does that sound reasonable? One advantage of going with them is they'll lend me a rim to take my new tyre while it's being fixed - I don't have to drive on the space saver at max 80kms an hour!

Hey john,

to my knowledge their is only one place that does it which is quickfit in queenbyan. They generally charge more like $200 a rim i thought so $150 is probably pretty good. anyways thats all i got

I had a rim repaired out at The Wheel Factory out in Queanbhole. They did a good job and only cost about $120.

Give them a buzz and see what they can do.

Well that makes some sense (I've been dealing with Quickfit belco). Maybe it's slightly cheaper because I've spent $950 with them in the last 2 weeks.

Is it worth to send a rim to Sydney? Should be cheaper than Canberra... But need to add the cost of freight.

I remember that I read an article in autospeed sometime ago. The rim repair is around $60... :bonk: And wheel factory actually is a Quick fit...

$60 dang thats a good price i guess it does completly depend on how bad the rim is eg just scuff marks around the outside big dints, cracks etc i was looking at buying some rims from a guy online but the thought of paying $200 a rim to get them cleaned up put me off

Neales Wheels in Sydney can do it, not sure of cost.

Got the rim back today, cost only $120 so I'm happy.

Would recommend the boys at Quickfit Belco based on my experience, they've been helpful.
