Can anyone recommend a place to repair rims?

Its got some nasty scratches and this pretty bad crack in one of the spokes,

I have a bad feeling that it has snapped in two

Was wondering if its still repairable

Its cast iron rim not forged if it makes a difference

Try Alliance Rim Repair. They used to be in Northbridge, but moved further north. They made my rims look like brand new. Probably best to take the rim down for a look & ask. Just don't be in a hurry to get it back, ie allow say three weeks as they are busy & have a bit of a production line thing happenning.

[Or feel free to come see me at Just magz at unit 1-63 brant rd kelmscott, we actually specialise in shadow chroming and mag wheel restoration, making rims and megs look brand new for a fraction of the cost compared to alliance rim repairs, for example, a bent rim that just needs straightening/painting would be around $90 flat etc.

Can you match the paint of a Gun Metal Grey P1 mate? I can email you a pic of the damage if you like. Just needs spraying.

Certainly can, anything minor on rims, like curb damage, minor scratches and a repsray are all the same price @ $50 each.

Antyhing bent, or that needs welding, repolishing and a respray including colour changes dont usually go over 120$ each.

The only thing we dont do is chrome dipping, rims like that have to be sent out and alot of the prices vary as they are priced by the weight when they come out etc

No worries ill come see you during the week.

Whats the turn around time for a job like that? and does the $50 include removing the tyre from the rim?

60 to remove/refit and balance or 50 if ya bring it to me stripped, either way would really cost the same whether ya did it urself or not

I think the rule is that if the spoke is cracked it pretty much a write off but it can be done without an guarentees.

My AVS rim was totally mauled after teh crashzor incident and alliance repaired it just fine with no guarentees of course. Still the balance was ll good no problems with it. They even found the right paint.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
