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

we don't care about your LMGT4's :icon39:, we're talking about the RAYS here.

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.

^I do the same thing and people laugh, but if its a wide enough street I'm like WTF is the point of being right against the curb:dunno:

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...

The LMGT4's are made by Rays Engineering. :)

I do the same thing, I don't care if I get made fun of.

:thumbup:

Although, if anything ever happens to mine (hopefully not - *also knocks on wood*), I'm gonna re-paint them Mag Blue..

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:..

GalvatronType_R May 15, 2009 02:38 PM

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.
