Anyone know a mag wheel repairer?

with regards to fixing wheels, i think its best as a DIY job. but having sanded down and resprayed my own wheels, the time taken is directly proportional to the number of spokes. the wheels i did had 20 or more spokes each and it took a hell of a long time to sand them down. then when i did a set with 6 large spokes it took no time at all. cleaning and sanding properly is the key to success. will cost you 50 or so dollars to do all four. i would bet a lot of money that all these "wheel repairers" simply do what i described when they "repair" the scratches in your wheels. 3 coats of primer, 4 coats of paint and a couple of optional coats of clearcoat and you're set. can use engine enamel or wheel paint.

I'm currently doing that with my stock 14's, but there is only so much that you could do. Bends and deep rashes cannot be solved by just merely sanding down.

thats true... depends how hard you've hit the curb of course... but the primer fills in a lot of those deep gouges... true they may not come out perfect, but if theres a fresh coat of paint, theyr'e sure to not be very noticeable except for close up

and of course bends and cracks will have to be done by someone with the tools/equipment

Just had one of my GTI wheels with bad scrapes (hit gutter) repaired by Magman. He did a fantastic job. I thought price ($125) was good considering amount of damage. The wheel looks like new now!

Hi guys, I just gutter scraped my front left wheel today.... I'm so disappointed at myself for mis-judging the distance.

I know most of the posters are in Sydney, does anyone know of a good wheel repair place in Melbourne?

Thanks!

There was a bloke who had a mk5 gti wheel repaired at some point last year i think, and i think he was even in melbourne....the job looked great and he said they were very recommended but for the life of me i don't know what the thread was called and where it was...sorry mate!!

try searching for wheel repair in the mk5 section and in the recommended parts and suppliers section.
