I go to Peter at Custom Wheels in Lansvale. $100/wheel and for me he usually removes and replaces the tyre and rebalances as well for no extra cost. He'll check for wheel buckling as well and can also repair that too. When I repainted my stock wheels. All 4 were mildly to moderately buckled. He charged me $700 to paint and unbuckle all 4 wheels. Price included all tyre removal, fitting and rebalancing.

Low quality wheel refinishing can really suck. If there is the slightest bit of damage, you will be best off to get them sand blasted and finished properly. Otherwise the paint will start coming off way too soon.

Yup, he strips it down to bare metal and repaints it
His name is Mauro - 0418 613 566
It's his side job, so it's usually a couple more days turnover than a proper shop but he does it super cheap and it's quality work.

Fortunely these will be my spare track or get out of trouble wheels. Just what it to look reasonable and better than a standard home DIY from a spray can lol
