Alloy wheel repairs?

Mark and I have used these blokes.....

Excellent results and service. They repaired some gutter rash on our GT-E rims, and re-rolled Marks GT rims.
A bit out of your way though.

Probably. It's actually in Melbourne, so it's a long way from you....

Best way to avoid it is to keep off the gutters, or change to 15" rims....

I use neway for various stuff, can organise it from work Bruce when you need. If you want a proper job the whole wheel have to be painted, otherwise buy some black touch up paint as it will most likely happen again if they stick out. Black is pretty easy and you will find at a glance  you won't see the touch up unless you look for it or it's really bad.
