Unhappy Ray's OEM wheel curb scrapes

Does anyone know how to repiar or get repair service for Ray's OEM wheel?

I scraped a curb coming out of a parking lot. Needless to say I cried for an hour on this one!

I called Nissan for a price to replace $700.00+

Any info or ideas,


Thanks everyone!

Sorry to hear,

It happened to me in the 2nd week, I consider to buy a new rim, In my case there were deep scratches on one rim. Started with a small nail file to remove the burrs, after that sand the area with waterproof sandpaper to reach a even surface. Clean it and use touch up paint (not a spray) to finish it. Put four layers with enough time in between. It not possible to see where it was damaged. Color of touch up paint = Mercedes Benz brilliant silver 744

You have to try it. Succes !
