Can anyone recommend somewhere that I can get my rims fixed, the inner lip has been bent and is leaking air. I'm thinking Wheel Works, but have heard they are a little expensive.

Extensive rim services and there is one across the rd too take it to both and get quotes they are as good as each other

they are on south rd and near harvey norman factory outlet

yeah good luck with that im fighting the playford councill atm all ya get is there legal dept sending ya links to why there exempt for liabilty in my case it would cost more to fight them then the wheel cost to repair .

I was fishing down yorks and was on a dirt road, possibly national park. I'll just fix it at my own expense.

+1 for Extensive Wheel & Rim Services, had my rims repaired there, was about $160 max i think per rim.

+1 for Extensive Wheel & Rim Services, Dealt with them alot with both of my work's. Always do a great job, for a reasonable price.

Have dealt with wheel works as well they did a awesome job, just unsure of price as it was for a customer.

I had 2 of my 18 x 10" BBS LM rims repaired at Extensive Wheel & Rim Services for $200 per rim although mine had a clear layer on them that cost more. They took a week to fix them.

In regards to getting $ from the council you will need to take photos of the pothole including measurements of its depth, length & width. You should report it to them prior to making a claim as well. Ironically Fifth Gear did a segment on this just last month (s16e05). In the UK they have over 40 million pounds set aside to pay out victims of potholes so you may be in with a chance. Over there the pothole had to be at least 40mm deep. It would be worth enquiring about it.

Nah, no way i'm driving all the way back down there to inspect the 1000s of potholes for the one I hit. Would cost me as much in fuel as it would be to get it fixed.

Anyway, dropped it at wheel works this arvo, should be ready tomorrow and cost me $132. Extensive were busy and could only get it done by friday.

If it ends up needing to be welded it'll be another 3 days and $80 (or something, can't remember) because it will need to be heat treated.
