hiya,
Does anyone know of a good wheel specialist who strips and polishes rims in the sydney metro.

I don't know about anyone local in Sydney as I am stupid enough to do my own polishing, but a guy I know from another forum recommends GLM Polishers in South Australia.
He got a set of wheels done for $360 the pair, complete polish.

Thanks Rod, I found a bloke and he'll charge $350 a set (wheels unbalanced).
I'll keep looking,
Cheers.

For a quality job thats a fair price IMHO

I did one set myself - next ones I got done ;) Paid about that to have them done and have been very happy with the job. Ron @ Flywheels arranged it for me. I think a few of the "Southern" guys had him do - well arrange - theirs as well.

I still consider myself the master of the anti-polish, given my GPX750 polished rims were the colour of brake dust and road detrius by the time i was done with them.

Keep looking ? what are you expecting to find ? That price is only $175 per wheel, which at current workshop rates of around $100 per hour, is less than 2 hours work per wheel...... :? I have spent way more hours than that polishing wheels - $350, that is an excellent price for stripping and polishing a pair of wheels I reckon. :kuda:
