hey mate i repainted my wheels , mine are 3 piece alloy and i think they a magnesium something centres in them which is the bit i painted , i sanded and wire brushed all the flaking and corrosion off them they were really corroed once they were clean wiped them down with thinners primmed them up with a good etch primmer ,cople of coats let them dry for a couple days in sun , was summer so bout 40deg days here , sanded them with some 400 wett and then i painted mine with a mix of silver hammertone with some added plain silver to smooth the hammertone out a bit, they come up sweet once was done , and cause or the semi hammer tone finish they can be touched up pretty easy. thats my 2 bobs worth any way.

if they are alloy coloured rims a bodyworks can paint them in 2pac for around $80, thats what i was quoted about a year back...

where did you get your rims fixxed? did they recommend a place for painting or powder coating?

I have a set of Work Ryder rims that i had painted from silver to white. Ultimate Powder Coating sand blated the rims then powder coated the white. looks tops. look like they have come straight from the factory. also there is a guy up here in Burnie called Andy Morris that owns a rim Machine shop. can do amazing things with damaged or cracked rims.
