Hi there,
Just wondering if someone can help me out.
I'm after a place either on the Sunshine Coast or in Brisbane that fixes bent rims. I hit a pothole and bent both passenger side wheels and they now look like a fifty cent piece. If you can post up some places and their phone numbers it would be greatly appreciated. Also if anyone has had wheels fixed what do they charge? I don't really want to fork out another $600 for two more rims.
Thanks Errol

I know its not Brisvegas but Eastern Wheel Works is the only place Ive heard nothing but good/great reports about. Its located in Coronet bay or Cowes. Down that way anyway.

I've had three rims straightened at Promac in Cardiff, Newcastle.

Great workmanship and cost ranged from $40 to $77. Depends on how bad the rim is & how long the repair takes.

Highly recommended, but a bit far from you errol.
