Eastern Wheel Works.
They currently have a set of mine, looking around the shop there work is pretty impressive

Do you have to remove the tires and wheels yourself at all of these places? Or can u just leave the car there and they do it all?

Depends on what the wheel is there for...
Id be taking the wheels with no tyres for most repairs though.

Well mines gutterbashed courtesy of my sister.
So a refurb or even a collie change to all four wheels would be considered.
Its just that I don't have a spare set of wheels to put on while they're repaired, I'd rather just drop the car in for a few days and then pick it up all done hassle free.
Anyone know a place that does this?

That meant to say colour, not collie. (iPhone)

The place i posted above provide this service i believe, and also remove tires and re-balance so there is no chance of damage when fitting tyres.
Most of the good places who specialise in wheel repair in melb that i called offer tyre removal and refit service.

Hey Jet 147

Are they your black r32 omanyt wheels, were did you get them done and the cost if i may ask?

Thanks

See 3rd post above for where I got my Omanyt's painted - they're actually painted Ford 'Ego' which is a dark grey with metallic pearl through it.

Expect to pay between $120-200 per rim depending on wheel size, curb damage, paint colour/type etc.

Yes you can get them powdercoated much cheaper, however without starting a debate, a painted finish is far superior in my opinion (having had both done previously). If you want to go Shadow Chrome finish, i.e. VE GTS expect $280-300 per rim.

Hope this info helps.

Thanks for that Jet147. I'll give them a call soon.
Is there a website or something that has different paint finishes for rims so you can tell them what finish you want?

Thanks for that very help full and much appreciated, i got some r32 Omanyt's but they have gutter marks on all wheels so, just thinking what i should do, get them fixed, paint them, or sell them how they are! lol

I just did some research on car and bike colours i thought would look good on a set of wheels to be honest...came across the 'Ego' colour on the F6 Typhoon on a friends suggestion and went with it.
The metallic grey on Yamaha R1 or R6 was a nice colour, just do some googling to find a paint code and they can mix it up for you.

Thanks mate.
Such a hard decision because my car is united grey and If I go silver it's hard to tell what style unless you see it in person. Still don't know what colour to go.
