Neway Wheel Repairs in Heidelberg West. My mate was telling me about them the other night and reckons they're the best for any sort of wheel repairs. Had wheels refurbished (similar to centrelines) and they came back mint and it was cheaper than the prices posted above! So might be worth getting hold of them and see what they say!

Neway Wheel Repairs, 11 Beatrice Ave Heidelberg West 9457 3141 man i took em there to begin with show them the damage first hand they said they can fix it i come pick it up they start saying its hammered its ****ed through it out and we tried to fix it i dont understand why you would try to 'fix' a so called 'buthered' rim in their opinion and then proceed to charge $60 for doing nothing they might be a good company but my experiences are -ve so unfortunately i wont be recommending them to anyone

Ahk man, not good to hear, I was only going off what my mate had to say about them which was they're great. If something can't be fixed, it would take a bit of nerve to have a crack anyway and then even more so to have the nerve to charge for it, definitely not good man and I don't blame you! All the best finding somewhere!

silver duct tape ftw! it does look pretty fked, but i dunno what the other wheel looked like before it was repaired. i think $200 isnt too bad to pay to have it repaired, but whether they stick to their prices or not would be interesting to see..
