nerm Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 I have an 18x8.5 Work Equip 3 piece rim that is leaking air. Does anyone know where to get this fixed locally? I have contaced Wicked Wheel out in QBN but was advised that they didnt know much about the 3 piece wheels. There is a place in Wollongong calle Spot on Wheel Repairs that can do it but that would involve getting the wheel out there an all the costs involved with that. Would really appreciate an information that anyone can provide. Cheers nerm Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/234547-wheel-repairs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTRKat Posted September 3, 2008 Share Posted September 3, 2008 To what extent can people repair damaged wheels? My Sparcos have severe gutter rash on them from their days in Japan that I'd really love to get fixed so they can be re powder coated.
