Work Meisters

Recommended Posts

I picked up a set of work meisters: 114.3x5 18x11 & 114.3x5 18x10

Basically I want to paint strip all the old clear coat and then have them re-polished and have the finished product re-sealed.

I also want the centers powder coated black.

Does anyone know any places that do this? Preferably in the city area, or Hawthorn, Kew or Richmond area...

I don’t want my three piece to be taken apart.

I took one to this shop in whoop whoop land and they wouldn't do it so now I am looking around.. pls help!!

^^I was just gonna say that.

Damn Karla!

Hot Wheels!

Have you tried a panel beater?

Yes I have taken it into a panel beater, they suggested something different to what I have in mind, I thought about it and then changed my mind... so instead they forwarded me the contact details of a wheel place. I took one wheel in and they said that they did not want to do the job, they did not have the time...

I had a spray painter attempt to do the job on one wheel but again it was not what I want.

Keeping all my options open, I don’t want to take it to more than one place... I want to drop it off somewhere and pick them up, polished, re-sealed and powder coated.. ready to put the tyres on.

The person who attempted to fix one wheel started rubbing it back and it went wrong!! Luckily it was only the size of a five cent piece... I took it into the panel beaters and they had a go, still bad news!!

As for the doing it myself... the panel beaters suggested to mask it up and paint the centers black and i got all excited because I wanted the painter to do three and then i wanted to paint one of them myself just for fun but then I decided that i want them powder coated.

I might need one, because the work result done by a well known wheel place around cheltenham just peel itself off and flake off after 3 months... very unhappy with their worksmanship and basically at $180 cost they don't wanna know about it.

I found that they did not use a primer before recoating, and probably didn't put a hard coat on that's why it's peeling off...

i got quoted $110 per wheel (if you have rubber on the wheel they will remove it for ya) but that was fixing up gutter rash also. if your rims don't require any fixing i guess it will be cheaper

but i was also getting 8 wheels done so the price may have dropped a little bit.

hope that helps. best to call them. cant remember who i spoke to but they were very helpful

Go to Wheel Solutions. They can do exactly what you want and they do an extremely good job.

They are on 560 Church street in Richmond. Right behind Fitness first.

They fixed my Volk GTS and made it immaculate.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
