Does anyone know who machines the BA GTP wheels for Ford or who can re-machine and recoat the wheel to repair gutter damage? At the moment my only option is to buy a new wheel for close to $700.

I was going to swap it for the spare but it was damaged from new. I think someone pulled a swifty at pre delivery and swaped it for their damaged one. At the moment going thru a warranty claim, not confident. Also the GTP has specific front and rear wheels, the rear being 1/2" wider offset. The spare is a front wheel.

Replace it, thats about the best way!
I had one refinished on my AU II and lets just say I wasnt too happy with it when I got it back. These rims are a little harder to being machine finished, i endedup just replacing one on my BA XR (18 inch shinny finish). Also if your in QLD let me know im sure I can save you a few dollars when it comes to buying a new one!
