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.

When you get the clear coat off, you could even just polish it yourself LOL! Start rubbin' Karla.

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.

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      By The Bogan · Posted

      I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it

      I can totally get why you like it for that sort of commute. I was thinking BoganDore because it's such a lazy drive, for things like stop start traffic.   I used to do over an hour in stop start shit from one side of Bris to the next, twice a day. My choice of car was larger displacement, with an auto. Basically for torque in low rpm/very low speed, and no clutch pedal. But loved a fun manual for the weekends, which the partner has (plus had the LandCruiser too for other fun drives). I now have an EV as a work car, and I tell ya what, ultimate daily driver, especially if youre out of energy, like I often am after work. I don't even need to touch the brake pedal   That said, I'm presently rebuilding the Liberty GTB to get it setup for weekend drives and track abuse! So small high revving turbo engine with 6 speed cog swapper!   But for your style of commute, I'd probably take the MX5 too!   For those choices, I'm ignoring fuel economy. Because I know how atrocious V8 daily life is for fuel from when I used to daily a manual SS, ha ha. Hence why I know I love the daily rumble of a V8

      People just don't understand how good MX5's actually are and how fun they are to drive, park, manuever. You feel like you have got some fun cheat code, while everyone else is sitting in their luxobargeSUV like normies who missed the point of living. It really is that noticable. As long as you/your stuff fit, and you're comfortable (they are), a MX5 is the best car on earth to daily around.
