I am so angry with myself. Was parking in a rush and rashed the lip of my rims.
Does anyone have any idea on the cost to repair, and/or a good place in Sydney to get it done? Would like to keep these wheels immaculate.

Another vote for magman.
I had 4 wheels repaired and resprayed, and a warp removed from one for a total of $400.
That's miles cheaper then anyone else I got a quote from.
Good luck!

Thanks guys. Also got a recommendation from a mate to go there, so will give them a call. Hopefully < $100 to fix.

Magman repaired a buckle in one of my Triumph Sprint Rims
(background, the Triumph Sprint RS is as rare as in this country .. a new set would cost me close to 2000 POUNDS!)
$300, heat treated, dynamically balanced and powdercoated in the factory silver.
all good ....

If you have the time patience and want to save a quid you can easily fix it yourself. You can either fill it with bog and sand it back then mask off and paint. If it was a polished lip I would file it back smooth then sand then polish. I find filing is the best when not deep as in your case, then painting. How do I know? I'm married...
