Hey guys,
i was looking at getting some second hand mags for the levin but i have a couple of questions.
The mags have a few scrapes ie. around the edges of the mag as if they have been hit by the gutter.
example pic:
I was just wondering how much it would cost to get 4 rims fixed of all the gutter scrapes? And also whilst im at it, i would like to get the rims powder coated.
Who undertakes this type of work in adelaide?
Any idea what the sort of cost would be?
Cheers heaps guys:

I know someone who does a very good job at removing gutter rash.
He did my rims, but I warn you its not cheap.
Powdercoating is around $50 a rim I think.
Machining the rims will cost a bit, im not too sure on the figure of just the maching, as I got them polished/painted at the same time.
If your getting new school style rims, just get them new. Atleast then you know what your getting.
I would only bother with these types of services if the wheel style and offset/size is quite rare and only available second hand.
This is a pic of some wheels that a place in SA touched up for me, keep in mind these rims are probably about 15 years old now:

Oh yeah and I wouldnt expect the guy I used to get your job done quickly, he likes to take his time.
But in saying that, I would like to see a place like extensive etc get wheels as schmick as this guys effort.

$50 per rim. Man i think i got a bargain. I pre-prepped my rims and got them powdercoated for $20 per rim. Satin black though, no fancy schmancy colours.

Extensive re-rolled a set of 17's i bought that were bent on average 3 times a rim. charged me 165/rim and powdercoated them for free. I would recommend them even tho they are expensive as all hell.
