Curb Rash
I have 19” PIAA wheels and Toyo T1 R tires. Hate to admit my wrongdoing, but I pretty much disfigured all four wheels. I am trying to figure out how best to address this without killing my wallet. Three of my tires will probably need replacing in the next 10k miles...

yes, all four have at least some...
It pains me to look at it. It's my understanding you can get chrome rims repaired in LA, but environmental in Northern CA are too strict; so the job can't be performed up here.

DIY.....search around google. there is a thread on an M3 forum on how to fix curb rashed rims. ive repaired about 3 volk rims for my friends, one was mine. and you cannot tell it was curbed up to begin with. all it took was a dremel, sandpaper, polish, and alot of elbow grease

Ix350xI the 1700 includes four new tires as well... i hope i'd be more careful. but i realize the risk and that there's a great likelihood i'll mess em up again...

Sucks about the curb rashes. I am not feeling the wheels there. for about $1800, I saw people selling used Volks with decent amount of tread on the tires. Get something you can resell and still get back a decent amount. If you buy those, it comes with crappy tires and you probably won't get half of what you paid for for the rims. Just my 2 cents!
