Does anyone know of a decent rim repairer in the Gosford, Newcastle area? I have hit a gutter with my OEM, black and polished silver GTD rims and don't want to do it the DIY way. Thanks in advance.

Promac in Cardiff (Newcastle) does pretty good work.

The machined finish on the GTD rims are going to be tricky to repair i think. I had a mobile guy repair 2 of my rims about 6months ago and he did a spectacular job. This guy does some of the car dealerships around Newcastle/Central Coast.

My brother organised the repair for me via the car dealership he works for - all i did was drop my 2 rims off in the morning and pick them up that afternoon (so i didnt have to leave the car there all day). Once fixed, you would never know i had scratched the rims or that they have been repaired. Cost was $100 (cash) for both rims.

I'll find the details for this guy and let you know.

I'm interested I have 2 curbed rims with very small imperfections. For someone walking past you would not notice but for me since I know it's there it's very noticeable.

Terrific, thanks for the reply guys. I will wait to see if you were able to track down the details for me.

GTD Dubber - this is the guy here. As mentioned in my previous post, the machined wheels that are fitted to the GTD's are more difficult to repair than a standard silver painted alloy wheel (like my car has). So im not sure if this mobile guy will be able to help you, but its worth a shot. He did a magnificent job on my wheels.

The guys name is Lee 0412 893 520

Update on the rim repair - thanks Lucas_R, Lee from Colorado Colour is doing the repair. Very friendly and helpful guy. He works from the back of Klosters BMW in Newcastle. He travels down from Port Macquarie. He is charging $120 to fix the rim, which is very competitive. I will post pics of the 'after' when he is done. I since found out from VW that one of the rims costs $739.

Good to hear, as mentioned previously, he did a fantastic job on my rims (im extremely fussy too) which is why i didnt hesitate to recommend him to you.

I hope your experience is as positive as mine was.
