I remachined my euro wheel at Botany a few months ago. couldn't remember the name, cost me around 300 -350 dollar for one wheel (its quite expensive) and I wouldn't recommended them to you. There is a guy at Punchbowl can do remachine, I couldn't remember the name.

Some aftermarket rims come with machined lips. You would need to get those remachined to match the original look.

I need to paint four of them and I want to keep the original look. Remachine the only answer.

probably maclovin is accurate with the true cost of getting them to look new again (thats probably a high estimate though). But why not just swap the damaged one with the spare? I still wouldn't pay 350 to repair any OEM rim, as you can find used full sets for like 500-1k

I had the same problem, in the end I just up bought an entire set of 4 new CU2 Luxury rims.

Came to $175 for each rim. More economical and it probably looks better new than repairing.

The wheels man is very good. Did 3 of my Dad's rims and they look like new again! He even comes to you. The wheelman 0425 305 590 He quoted $140 a rim.

The best answers for all your questions is didn't ask ozhonda member at the first place. Lesson learnt. I remachined my wheel 8 months ago. My spare wheel is 14" and 80km/h max.

CU2: are you selling the 18" stock wheel since you bought 4? I'm interested to get one of the wheels, just in case. Lol...

I thought about it but I'll probably gutter rash my rims again so I'll need them as spares too haha

Check ebay! They turn up occasionally.

I tried to buy one off you before and you're still keeping them.. Hahaha..
