Default Wheel Repair

I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good place that does repairs to alloy wheels? One of my BF 18's took a pretty big hit while I was on in Sydney, and now it looks shocking. How much would I be looking at? Its maily gutter rash, but one of the spokes has a chip in it.

I rang up Depulu here in QLD and they quoted $130 per rim (BF 18s) to re-machine gutter rash and recondition it back to new basically. I went to another place to get another quote and was told only Depulu can do it up here, since the machine you need is worth $250k and they're the only ones with it! So that should be ballpark I guess for down there too. Good luck with it, they're good looking rims!
