Wheel repair

(1/3) > >>

Shane Finn:
I got run off the road yesterday by some idiot who didn't check when he changed lanes (I was out of his blind spot) and have damaged the outer lips of my two left side chrome wheels when I had to drive over a gutter to avoid a side swipe

Any recommendation for a wheel repairer than can also re-chrome?

I have not used these guys yet. But have seen their work. The finished look is amazing.

The only wheel repairer I know of is Ozwheel out in Lepptington.  It's a very low key operation but I'll dig up their number.

I have a feeling getting an 18" rim chromed here in Oz may be an issue though...

Try Morton and May at liverpool (hoxton park rd) Ph.96017000, I know they do chroming. I used to work at Circle Track Racing Wheels at Seven Hills making wheels and repairing them but they dont do chrome work only repairs.I have had a set of wheels made at Morton and May 20 years ago and the quality was great.I trust their work.The other place I can suggest is Neale Wheels at Gould st Sth Strathfield,I dont know the ph. no. but they are in the yellow pages.

MADVET:
To repair a chrome wheel all the chrome needs to be stripped off, then the wheel is repaired after which the wheel is again rechromed. An expensive exercise.

I would suggest having the work quoted and compare it to buying a new set of wheels.
The price of new wheels are getting ridiculously cheep nowadays.

Just an example;
