Mag Wheel scraped
Does anyone know of a place in sydney where i can get alloy mag wheels repaired? i scraped one of my mags near the corner the rim on my VZ SS. they are VZ monaro wheels. i imagine the wheel needs to be repainted?

but it does . it would have to be a sphere to have no corners. he means the edge, where the rim meets the tyre obviously

edge = circumference
the circumference of a circle has no corners

No.. The circumference is just the length of the curve.. It refers to a numerical measurement..
It's like if you scraped a part of the edge of your body and said "I scraped my height"

how deep is ur scratch, cos i had a few light gutter scratches on my wheels and my mech got it sent to get sanded and filled in then resprayed, looks like new, i got it done 50buks a rim , dunno where it got done tho, just ring around the mag wheel repair joints and get a price and make sure they spray it the right colour, cos i my mate got his done on vtss wheels and they cme back plain silver instead of that really shiny metalic silver holden uses(now 2 wheels are diff colour)...they r really nice rims the VZ monaro/ssz rims must have really ****d u off wen u saw the scratch
