Hi everyone,
I'm not too happy atm... ive scrathed an alloy wheel on my car. It's actually on the spoke, and the edge itself. What i'm wanting to know is, is it possible to get scrathes fixed on your wheels? Im in Melbourne, so ANYONE who knows anything... your comments would be greatly appreciated. They're aftermarket rims, and i'd want to know if it's a quality job

Thanks

i haven't got first hand experience with them but everyone i talk to says they are good.

ahh that's a prick. Yeh you can have scratchs and gouges on alloy wheels repaired. I'm not sure which places in Melbourne exactly, but I know down my way, the Tyre Power place does repairs. Probably won't be exactly like new but will be better than it is atm.

Cheers
Mat

the issue u have is that u will will be hard pressed to get an exact match.
Options are have it done and hope its close anouth, buy another and keep the scratched for a spare, wait till all the others are scrached and get all 4 resprayed.

last quote i got was $65 a wheel on mums cruze wheels
