Cracked a rim, early xmas for me

Who did you get to fix your Monza's?

eastern wheel works in lilydale.

Tyre was dead flat today, got it stripped off and took it to ambula engineering in brookvale $99 to weld and roll, also bought a brand new oz racing rim, bit over $600 for the 1 rim delivered. Better than amg aust who want $750.
What an awesome week

wheel repairs can go ok - mainly depends on the guy doing the repairing and the position of the crack.

I have a lovely old set of Speedlines that are so light but very prone to damage... anyway, there's a guy in west gosford that does magical work welding and re-rolling. cash upfront only though, but good value.

Anyway I had 3 hairline cracks in 2 rims (not even letting air out, but 2 were longer than 20mm) that he fixed up cheaper than the prices mentioned here.

Ok, tyre mounted and it's back on the car. No leaks so far. RePair is on the inside barrel so not visible from outside. The lady charged me $66, I didn't argue. But the guy said if ur running rims this size and rubber that small then I'll be seeing u in the future, fml

You could always run the OE wheels

HAHA ray I really need one of those. Bairnsdale to melbourne = fail
did they re roll it kaanage? eastern wheel works made sure even the other wheels i had that didnt have damage were rolled, sure enough, one of the other wheels in the set had a flat spot not visible to the eye
