INASNT Member 361 Member For: 18y 9m 11d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne Posted 20/01/09 02:11 AM Share Posted 20/01/09 02:11 AM 5 seconds of not looking where I was going while turning onto Nepean Highway and running over a curb has caused my nice new 20inch back rim a massive scratch over 85% of the outer lip. Where in Melbourne is a good place to try and get it fixed? Worse case I will replace the rim, you cant really see the scratch unless you look for it, but in my mind I know its scratched so need to get it fixed.

Daniel Member 299 Member For: 21y 10m 27d Gender: Male Posted 20/01/09 06:34 AM Share Posted 20/01/09 06:34 AM I too would highly recommend Advanced Alloy Wheel Repairs; I have to go pick up a rim off them his week!Taken lots of rims to them and they have always come back in great shape; unless it is a bad gouge into the alloy, it can be almost impossible to tell it was repairedThe guys from Advanced.. should sponsor the site or something because nearly every ford or FPV I see with nice wheels (either stock or aftermarket) has scratches on them - yuk !
