Can anyone recommend a place to repair rims?

Its got some nasty scratches and this pretty bad crack in one of the spokes,

I have a bad feeling that it has snapped in two

Was wondering if its still repairable

Its cast iron rim not forged if it makes a difference

Try Alliance Rim Repair. They used to be in Northbridge, but moved further north. They made my rims look like brand new. Probably best to take the rim down for a look & ask. Just don't be in a hurry to get it back, ie allow say three weeks as they are busy & have a bit of a production line thing happenning.

[Or feel free to come see me at Just magz at unit 1-63 brant rd kelmscott, we actually specialise in shadow chroming and mag wheel restoration, making rims and megs look brand new for a fraction of the cost compared to alliance rim repairs, for example, a bent rim that just needs straightening/painting would be around $90 flat etc.

Can you match the paint of a Gun Metal Grey P1 mate? I can email you a pic of the damage if you like. Just needs spraying.

Certainly can, anything minor on rims, like curb damage, minor scratches and a repsray are all the same price @ $50 each.

Antyhing bent, or that needs welding, repolishing and a respray including colour changes dont usually go over 120$ each.

The only thing we dont do is chrome dipping, rims like that have to be sent out and alot of the prices vary as they are priced by the weight when they come out etc

No worries ill come see you during the week.

Whats the turn around time for a job like that? and does the $50 include removing the tyre from the rim?

60 to remove/refit and balance or 50 if ya bring it to me stripped, either way would really cost the same whether ya did it urself or not

I think the rule is that if the spoke is cracked it pretty much a write off but it can be done without an guarentees.

My AVS rim was totally mauled after teh crashzor incident and alliance repaired it just fine with no guarentees of course. Still the balance was ll good no problems with it. They even found the right paint.

    • 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.
