    Recommended wheel repairer/refurbish in Melbourne

    Hi all,
    Just got my first set of wheels back from Eastern Wheel Works Lilydale, Melbourne.
    These guys did just about everything for me.
    Split wheels (multi piece)
    Welded crack in rear barrel (included re roll to make sure wheel was round)
    built up and machined out gutter rash in lips
    polished lips
    stripped and powder coated the centres
    machined centres to house bigger centre caps and bigger stud holes
    re built wheels

    They also can do new lips and barrels for some sized wheels

    Were very helpful in explaining powdercoats and two pack paints, also were very helpful when it came to me picking up and dropping off the wheels as I lived 3hrs away and didnt want them posted/freighted. Gave me suggestions along the way about new bolts and colours.

    Even after i had paid, were happy to talk to me about looking after the wheels and some future plans i have.

    Here is there website Wheel Repairs Melbourne

    Cant remember... ill check the invoice tonight.
    It'll be different for all wheels id say. On mine they stripped the clear, built up weld (some were very deep), then machined it all back to in line and did both rears so the lips matched on both sides of the car.
    But it would depend on the style/material of the wheel and where the damage is guess.
