Best place to fix rims?

Totti · 12-19-2009, 03:24 PM

I know, I know...But I had someone in the car and got momentarily "distracted".

mate i just got mine fixed on tuesday i scratched the SHIT out of it .... paint started to flake and chip off ....not happy ....

go to "wheel solutions" in Richmond (TAKA recommended) the guy is FANTASTIC... amazing job... he does work for Lambo, Ferrari, Porsche and BMW melbourne... When people trade there cars in they take it to him to fix all the rims before they re-sell... they also take rims to him when a customer wants a custom paint job on some rims...he had some $5k each! lambo rims that he was re-painting BLACK......

$165 per rim....he doesn't just touch up he fully re-paints then bakes it... wouldn't go anywhere else mate mine looks perfect.

Nick! You two!.... should both come to the driver training in Feb!

Otherwise perhaps we should catch up on the Friday night!

$165 hey. Not bad at all, but maybe wait a few more weeks see if it's a recurring theme!

Not my fault zender. I don't know how to make the mirror dip down when you reverse

My mirrors are in too getting them fitted this week. Such a waste of $1200 but at least they will look good.

It's a pretty small scratch, give it a good clean it & won't be too noticeable.

To have your LHS mirror dip when reversing the mirror controller must be set to the RHS.

Yeah good call and thanks for the tip!

Nick...PM Sent with details. If Steph was by himself he can't be a whore.... a monk would be more appropriate!

takahashi · 12-20-2009, 06:44 AM

You know even that small you wanna fix it.

Or you can wait for another one before visiting Matt at Wheel solution. He is behind the old Zagame and now Nick Scali fruniture, on Church street Richmond in the complex with Fitness first. number is 450 Church street me thinks.

Hmmm... Well mate get them fixed... and rather than just driving from where-ever you are picking them up from to parking at the scenic vista.... (I'm guessing you know your back seats intimately now?

Do some real driving you big girl!

Totti · 12-20-2009, 06:14 PM

Pillow over the center console mate

cozza · 12-20-2009, 11:15 PM

Gonna need to get mine fixed after today. Some stupid cabbie almost ran me off the road so in an attempt to avoid him hitting me I hit the kerb instead, giving gutter rash to the whole circumference of the front rim. Not happy!

takahashi · 12-20-2009, 11:45 PM

Sorry to hear that cozza.
