Default NOOOOOOOO!!!!! Curb rash on my wheel :(

Crap crap crap

I was in a hurry today to get to the doc and i parked fast, ended up too close to the curb and now I got a damn rash on one of my wheels.

I wanted to cry

Tell me is there a way to fix this kinda damage? Just scratch damage near the tire on my 18 inch wheel. Seems a bit deep at a certain spot though.

I feel your pain bro. I got a 6 inch curbage on my Volks like 3 weeks after I got them. You should be able to take them to a wheel specialist and they can repair them for around $100 a wheel depending on the damage.

If it's stock rims, you got an excuse to buy aftermarket rims.

fix would run from $100 to $200 depend on what kind of rim you have.

Thinking about it, the thing is I'm worried about getting them stolen, and I kinda like those for now, next year perhaps I'll pick some up

10TIL4, I'd HAPPILY pay $100 to get that thing fixed, my poor baby has a scratch on it'S knee and it's all my fault

www.mobilewheelrepair.com they have places all over the U.S. and Canada. I couldn't be any happier with the results I got from them. You can't even tell anything happened unless you look at the tire.

Don't feel bad, it happened to me too. I was very upset.

The curb I hit was sticking out at an odd angle, where it shouldn't have, and I could see a ton of scrape marks on it.

That first scratch is always the hardest, but unless you don't drive the car, it's really hard to be free of scratches. I too have rash and a touched up bumper.

It's a pretty bad rash and I refuse to leave it there, now that I know it's there I always think people looking at my car are just noticing the rash

I honestly would give them a call on monday. It sems that they are pretty busy doing dealerships and that would be the best way to get them. At least that what I did just my 2cents.
