Epping Wheels and Tyres

Epping Wheels and Tyres is a wheel and tyre specialist in Lalor

​

Epping Wheels and Tyres, which also trades as R&D Wheels and Tyres, is a wheel and tyre shop at 446 High Street, Lalor, Victoria, in the northern suburbs of Melbourne. They supply and fit new and used tyres, build wheel and tyre packages, and carry out wheel alignment, wheel and rim repair, light servicing and minor mechanical work. Wheels and tyres are the focus of the business, with the servicing side covering the jobs that come up alongside them.

​

What wheel and tyre packages can be put together?

​

Wheel and tyre packages matched to a specific vehicle are the part of the business they are best known for. Recent work covers a wide spread of vehicles, from 20 inch staggered alloys on a Ford Mustang GT to 19 inch alloys on a Volkswagen R32 and a Toyota Crown Athlete, and 17 inch Sunraysia steel wheels with all terrain tyres on an LDV D90. Alloy wheels are supplied in a range of finishes, and staggered setups where the front and rear sizes differ are handled as ordinary work. New and used tyres are both available, which gives a customer options at more than one price point.

​

What tyre and wheel services are available in Lalor?

​

Tyre supply and fitting covers a range of brands and sizes to suit different vehicles, and wheel alignment is carried out on site so a vehicle handles properly and a new set of tyres wears evenly. They also take on wheel and rim repair, which means a kerbed or marked alloy can often be tidied up instead of replaced. Guard rolling is available for vehicles running wider wheel and tyre combinations, and caliper painting can be done as part of finishing off a wheel upgrade.

​

Do they work on performance, drift and race cars?

​

Yes. Alongside everyday road cars they set up alignments for drift and race vehicles, where camber, toe and caster are dialled in for track use rather than to standard road settings. That work sits alongside the staggered wheel fitments, wider tyres and guard rolling they already handle for performance builds, so a car being prepared for the track can have the wheels, tyres and alignment sorted in the one workshop.

​

What servicing and mechanical work do they handle?

​

Car servicing covers oil changes, battery supply and replacement, and brake maintenance, and they also take on minor mechanical repairs. For business and fleet customers running utes, vans and light commercials, tyre replacement, wheel alignment and basic servicing can be dealt with in the one visit, and steel wheel and all terrain tyre packages are available for work vehicles that need them.
