Just substitute the silver alloy wheel paint with something a tad darker.

Good luck.

 

anyone know what paint color matches the 06 rims?

 

I don't think there is a DIY fix on powder coating. But you might be able to sand it the best you can and have it re-powder coated. Good Luck!

 

Whats up with the first 2 pics?

In any event, we're they powdercoated by Rota or did you do that on your own? If they're like that from Rota, You could always contact Wheeldude on here and see if he can get you another. For the cost of a rota wheel (not bashing mind you), you could get a brand new one for not a whole lot more. You could even keep your current curb rashed wheel as a spare.

Just throwing ideas out there for you bud...even if you repair the damage and get it re-powdercoated, its going to probably cost at least 80-100 anyway and I doubt they will be able to perfectly match the color.

 

He did say to ignore the door image(s).

 

Yes, I saw that...but why post them if they don't pertain to anything the OP is posting about? It's like a guy with antlers on his head saying ignore the antlers.

 

I think Wheeldude has touchup paint. At least I remember seeing it on their site under "wheel accessories" or something.
