There used to be a place at Albion called Wilson's wheel works. It was near European Wreckers. It is 5 years since I lived in Brisbane. Check the yellow pages they may have moved.

I just did a White Pages search. There is a mob called Albion Wheel Repairs at Taylor Street, Abion although the map says it is Bowen Hills. Sounds like it could be the same place.

I went to a place down the coast somewhere in behind harbour town. cant for the life of me remember - it was some race engineering place like that dont quote me though.
they did a sweet job for $70 took out a massive dint in the rim that was letting out air when i went around a corner.
but for that price I had to repaint it myself with a $2 can of chrome
$72 i was happy

but just did a search and these guys came up at sumner park

My wife has been biting kerbs again

... drives by braille, I swear. One she did on Saturday nite took a bite out of the Conti as well (although it's still maintaining pressure ... but not too sure I'd trust it at high speed ... should that ever happen).

.

Even better, Elwood ... just around the corner from my place. Cheers.

Cheers,

OK ... I checked out Race Engineers today - $150/wheel (ouch!). On a hunch I checked in with Bob Jane T-mart on the way home and they recommended a guy they use: Western Suburbs Bodyworks ... $100/wheel (after I mentioned I was a member of this forum ... up here for dancing, right?). Anyway ... BJ-T-Mart said this guy (Troy) at Western did a top job and even re-coated the wheels.

Race Engineers are in Jijaws Street and Weston Suburbs Bodyworks is at:
528 Seventeen Mile Rocks Road and his phone number is 38784480.

Cheers,
Dave

Im the only driver. Was mainly from first few weeks of driving and as I have aftermarket rims dont particularly want to buy another set. When looks like repairs will be much cheaper.
