Sign if you've curbed those beautiful forged RAYS Nismo wheels
I just did it this morning to the right rear wheel. Arggh. Fairly minor but still in need of repair.
Oh well, time to go to www.rimdoctor.com (they are a mobile wheel repair shop in the DC metro area). I would look up Ye Olde Wheel Shop but I've heard a few bad things about them and they were pretty abrupt and rude the few times I called them. |
have yet to do that, and hope it never happens!

Haven't curbed my LMGT4's. *knock on wood*
I'm really cautious, though... I always end up like a foot from the curb, and I always get made fun of for it. |
^^^ I hear you, better safe than sorry lol

yup, curbed mine a few months after buying it. Didn't notice it till later..then started feeling disgusted.
I went online to search out some way to fix it and found this: http://www.audiworld.com/tech/ext43.shtml So I ended up going through it and I thought it came out fairly well. Or, at least I felt a whole lot better about it. If you're particular or if the curbing is awfuly bad the I'd just take it to a shop. Anyways, hope this site helps. |

Thanks for the link. The only problem is finding off the shelf paint that's a close match to the wheel's gunmetal color.
And LMGT4 owners, you are more than welcome to reply (since "beautiful forged RAYS Nismo wheels" also describe LMGT4s). |
I have on drivers side front :(
Not that worried about it, I'm bound to do it again. I do park well, but Houston has some of the worst roads I think in the USA. The particular nemesis of mine is a friends road, that is narrow (so have to park tight) and has curbs that stick out further at the top then at the bottom. I hate those :( |
Put me down for the curbed right rear rim crew...

Curbed Driver side rear wheel while backing up to get closer to the curb ...
Some asshat took off my driver side mirror last year now i get extra close to the curb to park :icon27:.. |
Quick update:
-the guy from rimdoctor.com just called me and I set an appointment for him to come to my office on Monday. He was very friendly and professional, quoted a reasonable price, and I'll let you guys know how it goes next week. |

I feel you on that, although I don't own any RAYS. a friend of mine was parked on by a curb and was side swiped by some drunk driver who also managed to scrape a few other cars along that road.

Unfortunately i did it 2 weeks ago,,, it got half of my right passenger wheel..:dunno:
