i would say take it to Extensive Wheel Services, south road, mile end

they do a really good job and pretty cheap as well

Highly Recommend! We deal with them at my work (Bob Jane, Henely Beach Road). They did a very good job on numerous amounts of rims we have had.

I really do recommend Extensive Wheel & Rim, i took my rims there just recently to get repaired, very well priced to i would say. I think there prices start at about $160, and max is about $220 per rim. Very quick turn around time too, when they aren't too busy, generally 1-2 days, mine took 3-4 days as it was just before xmas.

i got my rims repaired at extensive. one rims had a buckle in it from a previous owner. rims has to be re-rolled. $185 each, so price was about right. BUT.. the tall bald guy that works there, what a asshole. seriously whatever u tell him, he talks to u like u f**ked ur rim on purpose and hes the 'end all' in wheel repair and us inferior humans cant even comprehend whats involved in fixing rims. douchebag.

    • Just checking, when we are talking about high temp fluid, are we all referring to DOT 5.1? I haven't had any issues with changing it every 2-3 years. 
    • Yeah that is still true AFAIK.....good brake fluid should be changed annually because it absorbs water faster which is more often than most mechanics would do it. There are cheap tools that check water% in brake fluid if you all scientific about it. I for sure would (do) run good brake fluid in anything that even casually saw the track like Murray said; avoiding the risk of "exciting" fade is worth it
    • Well, back in the day..... "race" fluids, which were essentially only really "high temp" fluids, used to absorb water more readily. So they really needed to be changed more often anyway. The coincidence of that being directly necessary along with it being what racers would do as a matter of course was just fine.
    • Does the high temp fluid degrade any different over time compared to normal one? That's one thing I've always been wondering. Because a track car is going to get the fluid flushed probably way more often than every two years and will see less kilometers driven. I would think the requirements are different. I'm running Motul RBF 600 in mine. Was recommended by my mechanic before a trackday and I've stuck with it since. Hasn't seen the track since but I've kept buying and using it for servicing anyway.
    • The brakes are all stock bar some DBA slotted discs and the EBC pads and braided lines. The car has brake ducts as standard but they're kinda pointed in the general direction of the brakes rather than really getting at the heat source. I guess I should hit it with an infra red thermometer after a session and see what they're at.  100%! Its just a curiosity more than anything. As I said, high temp brake fluid was such a track day rage back in the day. From people I speak to at the track and threads on here everybody has their own take on it but I'm not gonna scoff at spending a few more bucks.    OH, a quick side question - would you use brake fluid from an opened container even if the lid has been on? Eg, if you have a bottle that you opened last time you flushed, it's been tightly closed, is it still good?
