Hi All,

Think ive asked this question previously however i will ask again. I have a bit of a problem with two of my rims, they are apparently buckeld :D after i had a run in with a gutter when my car decided to understeer. I have been told it may be possible to fix them and i was wondering what the name of the place in qeanbeyan was that might be able to help me. I think you guys said it was The Wheel Factory, this right? Anyone done anything similiar and have an idea of what prices for such a repair might be?

Cheers

Laine

Hi Nissan gtr35,

Yeah it is the wheel factory, I got one of my rims fixed a couple of months ago... they re-rolled it(think that's what it's called) and also polished the dish. It looks awesome now.. it was around $190ish but my mag was fairly damaged.

Im going back on monday to get the rest my mags polished and gutter marks removed.. :)

guys my rims have pretty bad gutter rash, most have been on there since i bought the car but one was the result of a neighbours friend pretty much running me off the road while doing a burnout down my street, just wondering approximate time it would take for these guys to fix this? and approx cost.

thanks

hard to say adam, gutter rash shouldnt be to long as they only cut and polish the edge of the rim, as for straightening rims, it cost me $600 but my rims were completely bent all of them, but ot polish rash should be cheap. give them a call

    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
