NO NO NO. This can be repaired by yourself. These rims are easy to curb b/c
of the soft metal lip. I cannot replace the clear, but I can walk you through a
simple process to hand refinish the lip. Did you bend the rim at all? or is it just
curb? My process will not repair a bent rim, however you can handily fix a scratch
or some chunked metal. Can I see a picture? Then I will give you the step-by-step.
Post up and we will go from there. Calm down all will be fine.
In my experience ordering a replacement barrel is a virtually impossible task,
and the barrel is PRICEY!

Gah, I damn well nearly spilled my coffee when I saw that curb rash.
Tips to folks who find it hard to parrallel park:
A.) Lower the volume on your radio so you can hear once it checks the curb.
B.) Just park further away from the curb and gamble with the parking ticket.

Guys, this strips the F out of the clear coat. This is not some magical fix.
It involves sandpaper from 800-2000 grit and lots of mothers aluminium polish (sp?).
It is difficult to mitigate the collateral damage to the clear as you work
the curbage out. Therefore, I would prefer to not get people worked up when they
destroy the clear on their wheel at my direction. I prefer damaged clear to a curbed
wheel, but if you like your Meister's in a museum, well... GTFO.

was just messing with ya anyway. i know how you feel because i clipped a small bit on one of my NISMO wheels after driving perfectly with them for close to 5 years, but honestly that is easily fixed and should look like new when done
