    Thumbs up Attention: Machined faced wheel owners (Detroits etc)

    Up until now I was led to believe that if you kerbed any rims that had a machined cut or machined front face, then there was little hope of getting them repaired successfully.

    Today I visited a repairer that I had not used for a couple of years. They have just invested a considerable sum of money on a machine that will re-face the machined finish on modern alloys. I saw an example of what they can do and it was staggering, the finish on the wheel was like a new one.

    Their website and contact details are here Aluminium Welding Bankstown - All Aluminium Welding - Aluminium Welding Bankstown Welding Bankstown Mag Wheel Repairs Bankstown

    So if you've damaged your Detroits or similar give Nick, Josh or Gary a ring on(02) 9755 1264.
