  • Anyone know a mag wheel repairer?

    Does anyone know where i can get a set of wheels repaired, as the back wheel hit a pot hole and has a dent on the inside.It is leaking air.

    I just need someone to roll it out again and also preferably re-spray them.

    Cheers

    mag repairs

    hi zee... where are u... syd, melb....?.. i know a great place out near west hoxton (western sydney)..... i cant quite remember the address at the moment but i think he's just off 15th/17th ave.... at first i thought he might be a bit dodgy being a "backyard" repairer...(does his work from his farm)... but the result is top notch....UNBELIEVABLE!! ..i will definatley take my wheels there again!! and VERY reasonable prices......
    let me know where you are and if you would like me to track down more details... it was about 3 yrs ago i got my mates wheels fixed (was run off the road into a gutter, bad scrapes, some deep..).. set me back about $120.00 to fix both wheels....
    anyhow let me know.. mario.

              Neils Wheels might be closer to you?

              theres another mob in minto as well but i cant remember the name

              AGR Tyres
              Bob Jane
              Neils Wheels
              Ozzy Tyres

              most the big places will do the repair at about $70+ a wheel depending on how badly damaged and the finished look its in (eg. polished more expensive obviously)

                OzWheels. Check out their website @ http://www.ozwheelaustralia.com.au/

                They've changed location to St Marys though. Give the mobile listed a call if you're interested with dealing with them. Owner's name is Peter.

                Quality of work is fantastic (did the lips of my previous 16" BBS wheels), but can be pricey! Good service too.

                  Thanks Guys

                  Thanks Guys, appreciated

                  I am going to Magman the weekend, as the recommended i bring it in. Neils wheels, sounds a little to pricey quoted me over the phone $150

                  There is also someone else in Lansvale that said they would do it for $80.

                  Cheers

                      I can get wheels widened if anybody needs, good fabricator who has done plenty of them. Let me know if thats what ur after.

                      Other to mention apparently Virgin Wheels as well is quite good, commonly used by eastern suburb smash repairers for wheel repairs

                          The first ones are the worst, I did mine in my Pulsar at Miranda Shopping Centre coming down the ramp took really slowly then SCRATCH!, followed by some colourful words to say the least.

                          Was not a happy boy that day.

                              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.
