Yes gutter rash isn't too hard to fix, remove the tyre buzz back the rim and repaint |

There are wheel specialists who do this for a living, usually with insurance repairs on expensive OEM alloy wheels. So yes, alloy wheels (I'm assuming they're alloy?) repair very easily. If they're steel I would still inquire, its a similar issue. They will put the rims onto a modified lathe and spin the edges down a fraction to get them perfect. They can straighten alloy wheels out which are bent and even add alloy to repair missing chunks of wheel. The cost is not great. The last I had done was a looooong time ago in Perth (Leo Gommer) but it was very little per rim. Maybe 30 bucks each? |

I've seen heaps of wheels repaired & the cheapest was just a slight touch up of the lip on the bead & touched up in the standard silver for $80 all the way up to about $600 for a mildly damaged, very large diamond finished alloy. Cheers Brad |
