Allow Wheel Repair

[Primordial]

I was wondering if anyone has had an alloy wheel repaired before, and what the price and service was like from the place you got it done.

The crack is similar to the one pictured. I've been quoted $120 to fix the rim. Does this sound right? Can anyone suggest a good place to get this done?

Cheers

I got mine fixed by Neale's Wheels.

Service was reasonable (didn't call me when they'd fixed it, and when I called them the day after their "ETA" day they said it'd been done for a while) but they were helpful, and apparently they take on a lot of jobs that people have said are "impossible" with good results.

Repair was $250, but mine was bent in a major way. And for a forged wheel, which may or may not make a difference.

having forged wheels repaired is questionable. i'm no expert but once thay are buckled they 'can' be repaired but they loose a lot of strength. the only proper way to fix it is throw it in the bin and buy a new one.

You must mean Chris Neale at Wheels Revolution, located in Moss St, Slacks creek, QLD. I have had wheels repaired there as well and very good service. They can turn a filthy wheel into a brand new one quite easily...jobs range from $40 onwards depending on what needs to be done ie: fixing minor gutter rash, repainting, machining or full on re-weld etc...highly recommended.

They did warn me that the wheel isn't as strong as it used to be, so the rims are now street only. If I ever repurpose them for track use I'll buy a new rim.
