Gutter Rash!

[Eldubb]

hi again, got some pretty nasty gutter rash and was wondering if anyone can recommend some honest wheel reconditioners in brisbane...

I got a quote from Depulu Wheels on the Gold Coast on they quoted $297 PER TYRE!!!! without even looking at it. This includes the couriers dropping off/picking up wheels...I suspected to pay a bit extra due to the factory shadow chrome but $300....is too much.

Suggestions of some honest places to call? Maybe you know someone? your brother does it?

Ask for Chris and tell him Jonathan with the V35 sent you. Best way for a quote is to drive to him and let him have a look first hand. And yes, price goes up due to the shadow chrome as they need to repaint the whole wheel but it should't be anymore than $200 per wheel depending on the seriousness of the rash. Chris has been in the business of wheel repairing for years and does good work.

You're a legend - so you've had some work done by chris on your wheels before? do you mind if i ask how much it cost you?

Yes, plenty of wheels done there before. Mostly machining the gutter rash of the lips approx $80, no painting required. I did have one wheel repainted in factory nissan silver and rash machined off for just over $100.

You drop the wheel off to him and it takes roughly a week or so depending on what needs to be done. If it needs to be repainted he sends its off elsewhere, but all machining gets done on site. If he has to remove the tires of the wheel that adds to the cost as well.

ah ok, so you havent ever had the shadow chrome wheels repaired on your v35?

Did get a quote to repair a 350z anniversary wheel (shadow chrome) and from memory it was around the $200 mark due to the paint. Don't quote me on those prices but as they may have gone up a bit.
