Wheel Repairs

[KPaz]

Hey guys,

Just today someone ran me off the road pretty much and my rear left rim touched the curb for a second, but was travelling at around 60km/h... so about 8cm gash along the side of the alloy rim. (little chunks have come off it! :S )

Anyone know a good wheel repairer or place in Sydney and how much they charge? This is for my XXR527 in chromium black. I paid about $250 per rim, so hopefully somewhere that doesn't charge an arm and a leg, yet does a good job :)

The scratch is minor, but it is noticeable (can see the whitish/silver showing from under the scraped/carved out paint!)

Cheers!

Nick

Hey Seb,

Thanks for that, I got the rims fixed up, however I got it done by the guy who is sent out by John.

His name is Chris Johnson and he worked for John the Wheelman for 2+ years and is now running his own mobile repairs business, am very pleased with the job, and whatever John/wheelman quotes he'll beat it! :) If you or anyone ever need anything done, this is the guy's number - 0432 063 181 (chris.a.johnson@gmail.com) He only works weekends as well.

Cheers!

How much did you pay for the repairs?

Contemplating whether or not I should fix mine.. black & red sharpies are my best friend when it comes to gutter rash AHAHA.

Hey Brendan,

Send Chris a photo of your damage and he can give you a quote - he'll come to your place and fix it up, only takes about 1-1.5h at most :)

John the wheelman quoted me $160 to fix up about a 15cm gash, but Chris said he could do it for $130 - really top job, can't even tell the difference! :)

Tell him Nick recommended him to you, he'll know my name.

Thanks mate!

Got down the name and number, i'll probably call sometime soon.. Most likely going to cost more, got a lot more than 15cm of gutter rash :( stupid car parks
