Hey everyone,

I am very dissapointed after spending the whole day looking around for someone who can polish my R32 standard 5 spoke mags.

I went to goldcoast electroplating who said no we dont do much of that. Then I went to this other place near there called "mag" who said yeah its tricky to do and said $120 per wheel.

My next call was to a guy called Rod the polisher who does allot of little things under engine bays and stuff for a pretty reasonable price but unfortunately charges $90 a wheel as it is a tricky job.

Surely there is someone who does this stuff for a good price as it is a common thing.

Hope someone can help,

Thanks everyone :)

Hi Sik32, I have a set of polished R32 mags on my car. They were polished not too long ago. I'd be interested in selling them if anyone is interested i'll post a pic...I'm not sure where the last owner had them done but they turned out really good and look great on the car.

I used to work as a metal polisher doing wheels and bumpers and all that kind of stuff. I was the foreman at aplace called A1 Quality Chrome in seventeen mile rocks. The phone number there is 33767604 and there is a guy there named John Chamley, he has a metal polisher set up at home and does a very good job, but if you want the quality you will pay the price. It is a prick of a job and very dirty. When I was doing them I wouldn't touch wheels for less than $180 a piece. But when you got them back they were like mirrors. I don't know what John is charging these days, but I can say his work will be second to none. Tell him Gary Auhl (pronounced ALL) sent you and he should look after you. Also expect not to have your wheels for a little while. I would suggest getting them done either one or two at a time.

Cheers

Gary

    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
