    Anyone know of a really good rim guy who can machine and remake studs in alloy wheels, and make up spacers and adaptor plates...
    I heard of some guy in labrador but nothing comes up.

    I use Depulu in Ashmore

    Last time I used them they re-sealed four wheels, rolled two dings out and polished my Simmons like new.
    Good work at a good price. Total damage was $550

    Dr Wheels is THE MAN. Ian left Depulu several years back as HE was the main man! No one better.

    Any idea if any of these guys would be able to fit wider dish to existing 3 piece rims, or would that cost as much as buying deeper dished wheels? I want to make mine wider...MUCH wider without forking out for new wheels. :cool:
