Not meaning to steal your thread but I live in perth and would like to find some reasonably priced to fix what mum did last weekend.

She did it whilst attempting to parralel park when taking me to hospital, Haha she told me and I was more worried about my car then my disclocated pinky finger.

Shit man, tell your mum she owes you a new wheel! Honestly, if you hit the gutter once while trying to park it's obvious you can't do it so find somewhere else to park! Did she really do all that in just one attempt??

Do you mean gutter rash on a machined lip? If so I'll post before and after pics of one of mine that is getting done tomorrow.

I've got corrosion from wheel weights too, so the whole face would have be to be machined and lacquered.

When i had my wheels powdercoated, the spare looked like this. And the powdercoater fixed it all back to brand new before he painted it. Great reason to get black wheels Cost me $200 for 4

Trust me she got fairly abused, she told me to get over it its just a rim. Im pretty sure the people in the hospital are now death from the yelling match we had, I told her to get driving lessons. And yes she reversed and heard it not knowing what the noise was and continued to reverse, then realised when she walked around and inspected the rim.


So is it repairable???? Or just buy a new one.

[TMM]

yep, that's repairable as long as it's just scratches, not bent.

[D-Man]

and that is why my mum will never drive my car.

i can't trust her with the excel that she drives. she broke one of the wheel covers because she hit the gutter.

she realised what happened... then got me to park the car..

[Troy711]

I'd just buy a new one to be honest.

[Troy711]

Here ya go, all fixed. I had to look at the damaged photos to actually find where on the wheel it was damaged!




Fixed (shit pic)

[Troy711]

You can still kinda see it but honestly, they did an awesome job.. sure beats paying for a new rim.

[juzzteq]

ahh shit i had the same prob i smashed my rim awhile ago, i could baiscly jump through the gap

umm i dont really think there is much point fixing a cracked rim when its scratched find a good person to powdercoat it etc
