Has anyone delt with the companies below or would recomend one over the other for rim repairing.

I have SSR professor SP1 rims which I have been meaning to get the gutter rash fixed on them.
Unfortunatly over the weekend I had a nasty insident with a gutter drain and have buckled the rim lip badly. The tyre is holding air, but it doesn't look too safe.

Ive found three companies.
Depulu wheels (Gold coast/Darra)
Race engineering (sumner park)
Albion wheel repair (Albion)

Would like the job done professionaly and correctly the first time, don't need to be messing around with dodgy repairers.

Any recomendations would be appreciated..

Yup going with Depulu wheels, have done a lot of reading and they seem to get very good revies. They have a shop at Darra as well, just hope the Darra Depulu dos the same top work as the Gold Coast shop...

Had planed to send my rims off to them and my scooter died, so untill I get that back the bucled rim will have to wait,, hasn't cracked yet but I cringe anytime I hit a pot hole

The rear is the one with the most damage, but the front rim has a big flat spot although it has held for 2+ years, so mainly concered with the rear rim..

I don't know why it happens, you drive a car with cruddy rims, and you never het kurbs or huge pot holes, you drive on good rims and seem to fugging hit everything..
