There's people here in WA that do it so i'm sure you will have someone over threre that does the same thing.
I've had I HSV rime done before and the job was excellent and cost about $100 from memory.

let me know if you find someone in Melb who will fix those scuff marks. I'm still wiping away my tears after kissing the gutter the other day- twice in a week. Those cheap import tyres I've got don't give me enough wide wall protection.!!! :-( moosexr6 Last edited by MOOSEXR6; 10-06-2006 at 10:27 PM. Reason: spelling errors |

G'day mate,
just found all those details on another thread- Tyres/Technical. sorry I can't lead you there, I'm still new to this system. There's about 5 to choose from in Melbourne. Good luck! |

Any good machinist at most engineering workshops can put the rims in the lathe and machine all the edges down slightlly to remove gutter rubs , there is a legal limit to how much they can be machined though as the rim has to still remain so thick to support the tyre propperly/safely. If the damage is deep they might have to be filled with weld first then re-machined. Ring around a few metal engineering workshops ;) .

GK,
I'm running a set of NANKANG, that came with my AU11 XR6 Ute a couple of months ago. I'd not really heard much of them before. They have a goodlooking groove pattern and are of course 235/45-16, but they barely just sit flush with the rim- and that a big problem with those series 2 rims. They also appear to be significantly noisey. I've tried running them on anything from 32-36kpi, with no difference. I'd like to know if anyone else has had any experience with this make of tyre. WORK IN PROGRESS: I've only just begun. U guys have inspired me! I haven't been so enthused about a car in years. 2001 AU11XR6 UTE, Liquid Silver So far- Tickford CAI, K&N Filter, Clear repeaters. Next- RedBack Catback- 2.5in single. Then- Pacies or HM. |
