About to check out Wheelworks in Dandenong to repair and repaint a rim. Have been quoted $170 to re-roll and weld a crack on the inside lip. Shadow chrome painting $250...ouch!

Also check out Advanced alloy wheel repairs, 3 Nellbern Rd Moorabbin. I will go on the books and say they are the best there is.

I had my rims repaired and painted by NEWAY WHEELS and they came back looking like a 10year old had got his hands on the spray gun, shit all through the paint and crows feet on the plastic caps

So basically im up for new rims. Very disapointing after spending $285 per rim.

Cant believe these guys can call themselves professionals, bunch of farking arrogant carnts

what did they say when you told them about it?

any reason for the mistakes? any offers to fix them?

I had a BMW wheel repaired there (for my daughters car) a few years ago
..top job imo, could not distinguish it from the new (very exxie) wheel I was looking at having to buy

i gave up after 3rd attempt, they are hopeless

i had them stripped and repainted by a panel shop

Im in Brisbane, had mine powdercoated 18months ago and am still happy with it. I got the yellow pages out and rang heaps of places. Prices were, up to 150 a rim but ended up paying $40 a rim with a coat of clear. Seems pretty resilient, gutter chipped one but it was a hard hit. Happy with them.

Something to look at is a product called plasti dip, just done the rims on my wife's car, stuff is cheap, reversable, can be patched without seeing where, hides small gutter rash, And is very easy to do, search you tube, heaps of info, if ya looking for some to have a go, I can get the stuff easy, just pm
