Alloy rim repairs

Post by Cookie »

I damaged the front rim on the R1100RT, I need to identify a suitable company to Roll the dent out.
Can anyone offer name of suitable repairer in Victoria?

GS have alloy rims as well, so would be no better off. Would need to go all the way to a GSA.

And the rims that are laced to the hub are also alloy - I am in the process of having the HP2 rim straightened.

Thanks guys

We did try a few places, but they would only repair car rims - I will checkout the locations Noel suggested:)

It may be cheaper to source a second hand rim - does any one have a rim to suit a 98 R1100RT?
