Scratched my wheel over the kerb

[marckhor]

Scratched my new left rear wheel yesterday while exiting the hotel carpark in Canberra. It is about 6inches long. Had 7hours to vent my anger and frustration while driving back to Melbourne.
Does anyone know where I can have the wheel repaired in Melbourne? Cost? Someone mentioned there are two type sanding and respray or the worlks.

Dont fret too much. I did the same and hit huge create kerb a couple of weeks back at some roadworks. I put on the matching spare (good one VW ) then had it fixed by a company at the gold coast. It looks like brand new and was about $200 to get it done. Not sure about Melbourne however

Yup, have used these guys and have been happy. In my case it was a full re-finish on a set of 4 rims. They are responsive to email so you can send a photo and get a price estimate. They have a pickup and delivery service daily ($16 per wheel when I used them 12 months ago) and will dismount and remount your tyre if you prefer. Typical turn-around is within a week.

I"ve used these guys to refinish a rim on my wife's CLK & you serriously can't tell the refished rim from the untouched ones...expensive buggers though!

If it's any consolation ( and I know it isn't!), I scrstched the crap out of my left rear last week & was really pissed off. Haven't decised yet to get it fixed or leave it at least to just beofre my tyre change is due.

Good luck.

$200 bucks to fix a scratch I think I can get a new one for around that price. BTW this is the Audi Reps.

I wish it was a scratch.... it was a remachine for the outer edge and fixing on the spokes..... it was a mess. Show me where i can buy a genuine rim for $200 and I will buy them, if for no other reason than to put them on my trailer to match
