where to modify VE rims

[redvess]

I'm selling my VE SS rims on ebay and want to know where to take them in melbourne to get them modified to fit earlier models, I called Wheel King cos I heard someone else on here got his done there but they told me they dont do it to customers rims only one's they sell and they didnt know where I could take mine

[Grommz]

Canterbury tyre and mag supermart in bayswater will do them..

Thanks I just called they said it'd be $75 a wheel so $300 all up :shock: yikes dont know if I want to do it before I sell them now but probably wont sell them unless they fit earlier commodores

I sold mine for nearly $1200 with tyres (10,000 kms) on eBay. Had people asking how they fit earlier models and just told them theyre about $50 each to machine from some wheel shops. Let the buyer ring around and dont get them machined yourself as once theyre done, theyre done. A guy with an Omega bought mine and they had scratches too and he picked them up. I was happy.

I had rubber removed, and 4 wheels machined for $50 in Sydney (total cost, NOT per wheel)
:D

are you sure its called Ajax and not Advanced Alloys did a search on ajax wheel repairs and didnt come up with anything and I know advanced alloys is in Moorabin

[TYREFRIAR]

Z & E Bros in Thomastown do our wheel work for machining, and wheels international at Ballarat do all our wheel repairs.

They will need the tyres stripped, and refitted.

Our now ex-sponsor Payless Tyres at Chullora.

Unfortunately Jeff now no longer works there (hence sponsorship dropping).

He really did appreciate the LS1 community and did good deals for its members.

Yeah, damned right Seedy! Just wish he was still there and sponsoring as the deal he did for me was hundreds better than anyone else and that was only on four rims, no tyres.

Yeah up between the car yeards,

Dragging up an old thread... I've rang a few places in Canberra but no-one does it or knows who would. Might have to go to Payless in Sydney to get it done.

[storm vy]

try asking an engineering joint, i got my brother to do mine he works at an engineering joint, cost me nothing except removal and refit of tyres:). I think he did it in the cnc but im not sure.

Its only 2mm of material that needs to be removed. Neales wheels in sydney, or as previously mentioned and engineering shop.

I reckon anyone with a mill and some time could do it.

I think Neales is $10 each for wheel shops.

Took me about 6 hours and $80 worth of bits for my tools to do one set. Never again

A word of caution for others. I rang Payless today about machining the VE wheels and we had a chat. I was informed the 245/40/19 factory tyres will foul on the front struts of a VY. He said you need 245/35 tyres for clearance. How bad or whether it's really a problem I don't know, but that was the info I was given.

[storm vy]

The tyres rub on the front struts while turning sharp and sit about 1mm off while going straight, i ran them on mine for a little while without any probs, but yeah they did rub a bit so i swapped them after a whle

The bigger tyres will also throw out your speedo

DAMM IT!!! i just brought a set 4 my vy and there 45's, bridgestone potenza's, hardly used at all and already white-walled!!!
I havnt had them machined yet so cant tell how bad they're going 2 be once there on, i hope they only just kiss the struts cos they look hot.
