Hello,

Was hoping someone could please recommend a wheel repairer in Sydney for some minor curbed S-lites. I spoke to a Bob-Jane dealer and also to BMW Sydney and they both offered a service where they paint match just the damaged area. They both quoted around $70 - $100 per wheel. Has anyone used such a service and where you satisfied with the result? Appreciate the comments.

Thanks

I had my FPV wheels repaired last year after i clipped a gutter at 80ks and they came up like new. They cost me $110 each i think but well cheaper than a new one.
i will get the name and address for you tommorow at work.
cheers

Yes, I came across these threads earlier. I'll also try TCCA as per minigolf's recommendation. Thanks Mike.

Nice one.

Any half decent panel beater or wheel shop should be able to repair your wheel without too much bother. All the best with it.

It's even quite easy to do yourself. You just need a airbrush (even with can air), some BMW titan silver, a little bit of clear, some builders bog (plastibond), a file/sandpaper, and about 2 hours (I know I started at 2:15 the other day and got back to the tyre shop at 4:20)

You'd never know

All those bits would probably cost $50/60 but any subsequent repairs are free.
