Dealing with curb rash [WA]

Postby Jordan.k » Fri Aug 14, 2015 9:57 pm

So err... let a family member take my car out and it came back with this

What would be the best way to fix this to make it look the same as it did before?

Anyone know where I could get this sorted in WA?
The rims are ultrex rs flats, which are about $200 a pop but im not sure if they are sold indiviually, if they are I could just buy another one and used the damaged one as a full size spare considering I only have the stock 17" spare in my boot.

Cheers

Alliance Rim repairs are the go to guys in WA for rim repairs. Not the friendliest or cheapest, but the work is A1.

Get in touch with Ultrex though, you never know he may have an individual lying around he wouldn't mind getting rid of and then you have a proper spare :good:

Yep contacted rob and he said he could get me one for $250 delivered which is a bit more than individual but I suppose it's fine as not many people would be buying just the one. I gather I could just find a used tyre with a 225/40/18 profile for cheap and then I'll have a fully functional spare for around $300~ :D

Why wouldn't you repairthe rim? Most mobile places can easily repair that mate. I had worse damage to my rim and got it fixed by a panel beater mate

Was considering a new rim because my spare is a 17", so I thought having 18's all round would be better in the case of a flat I would have the right size wheel to swap over
