Alloy wheel repair pricing varies a lot depending on what's actually wrong with the wheel. Here's a realistic, current breakdown based on our Southport workshop pricing — all prices are per wheel and include GST.
Typical starting prices
- Kerb damage / gutter rash: from $99
- Cracked rim (TIG weld repair): price on application, typically comparable to or cheaper than a full refinish
- Wheel straightening: from $99
- Full refinish (strip & recolour): from $149
- Full restoration (bare metal rebuild): from $249
- Diamond cut / CNC machined finish: from $299
Final price depends on wheel size, damage severity, and finish — we always confirm an exact price from photos before you drop off, so there are no surprises.
How does that compare to a new wheel?
A replacement OEM alloy wheel typically costs $200–$800+, and rare, discontinued, or premium wheels can run well over $1,000 each. Repair is almost always 50–70% cheaper, and it's often the only option if your wheel design has been discontinued.
