Well, car i bought i got tyres swapped on, one of the rims has a crack in the outter edge does not go to the bead, being on the inside was prob like this when the guy bought the rims, meh, anyway.

Who repairs cracks on a drop off in the morning pick up at close of buisness basis? as i only have tomorrow off of work:

Ajax dont do cracks, Eastern have moved... Who here has had cracks repaired in an alloy wheel?(eg, 33GTR)?

Alternatively if you are a fabricator who can weld it up for me tomorrow, PM me your number.

Thanks

these guys did a spotless job on a wheel of mine, i was very happy with the price and the work they did.

i was able to leave it with them for a few weeks as i had a spare set of wheels to use.

i doubt they will do it for you on the spot, but if you tell them you need it asap they should be able to try and get it done quickly, could you not just use your spare wheel for a few days?

they won't repair crappy wheels, but if it's a factory alloy, or a good quality wheel they "should" be able to help you.

33GTR wheel, need it repaired while on annual so i can drop the car off to get a few things sorted before DECA... and alignement etc wont be done without that wheel/tyre on, and cant drive it unless i f**k around putting a front wheel on the rear(two-way doesnt like the space saver)

thanks for the link.

I was told by a fabricator it is around an hours work.

try NEWAYS in heidelburg....

they repaired nam's GTC's for $50 a corner.... unbeleivable job!

crack or buckled though? this is a little crack in the lip, goes down to the curve, doesn't go near the bead...

the wheel they repaired for me was an r33gtr wheel,

it had what sounds to be similar damage to yours, it wasn't a problem for them at all, and i can't see where they repaired it.

they did a great job.

the repair was on the inner edge of the wheel...

call them, they will tell you to take it down there.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
