Anyone know a mag wheel repairer?

Find that paperwork Mario, I have heard tell of that guy in Austral and I think he can also redrill mags and widen wheels. I`d like to find him if so.

I can get wheels widened if anybody needs, good fabricator who has done plenty of them. Let me know if thats what ur after.

Other to mention apparently Virgin Wheels as well is quite good, commonly used by eastern suburb smash repairers for wheel repairs

The first ones are the worst, I did mine in my Pulsar at Miranda Shopping Centre coming down the ramp took really slowly then SCRATCH!, followed by some colourful words to say the least.

Was not a happy boy that day.

with regards to fixing wheels, i think its best as a DIY job. but having sanded down and resprayed my own wheels, the time taken is directly proportional to the number of spokes. the wheels i did had 20 or more spokes each and it took a hell of a long time to sand them down. then when i did a set with 6 large spokes it took no time at all. cleaning and sanding properly is the key to success. will cost you 50 or so dollars to do all four. i would bet a lot of money that all these "wheel repairers" simply do what i described when they "repair" the scratches in your wheels. 3 coats of primer, 4 coats of paint and a couple of optional coats of clearcoat and you're set. can use engine enamel or wheel paint.

I'm currently doing that with my stock 14's, but there is only so much that you could do. Bends and deep rashes cannot be solved by just merely sanding down.

thats true... depends how hard you've hit the curb of course... but the primer fills in a lot of those deep gouges... true they may not come out perfect, but if theres a fresh coat of paint, theyr'e sure to not be very noticeable except for close up

[GermanwithaVdub]

and of course bends and cracks will have to be done by someone with the tools/equipment

Just had one of my GTI wheels with bad scrapes (hit gutter) repaired by Magman. He did a fantastic job. I thought price ($125) was good considering amount of damage. The wheel looks like new now!

Hi guys, I just gutter scraped my front left wheel today.... I'm so disappointed at myself for mis-judging the distance.

I know most of the posters are in Sydney, does anyone know of a good wheel repair place in Melbourne?

Thanks!
