Default Completely grinded my front rim on 08 Z.

Called Nissan and the replacement cost as much as custom rims.

Anyone know of junkyards in the US that I can check for a possible wrecked Z or have any other suggestions? (part# 40300CF025)

Don't want to drop $2-3K on new rims.

I do know of some junkyards in the US...across the country from you. Not sure if this exists over there but pick-n-pull usually shows an inventory of vehicles online.

Or you could get the wheel repaired for around 100-200 depending on the damage.

ORRR fix it yourself!

Finding a 08 OEM rim should be easy...Google/E-BAY/THE FIND ETC
Last I looked,a 08 rim ran about 350-400 bucks + ship from the OEM
USED WHEEL GUYS.Should be cheaper on e-bay.

Not looking for an entire $et, but thanks.

Did find a place that will re-powder coat for $200. beginning to look like my cheapest bet. Allegedly, there will be no signs of grindage after repair.

Also reaching out to SlideGood. Thanks for the recommendations.

If you can't repair them you should make a WTB in your regional marketplace or in the General Marketplace.

That's the place that's going to repair the finish on my rim. They only have rear rims and no fronts in stock at the moment.

I can either wait for one to come in there or send mine in and drive a doughnut for the 2 week turnaround.

I did the same thing to my 2008 about 2 weeks ago. I took the wheel off and brought it to some place called "Seattle Wheel Service". $200 later, and you'd never know the wheel got curbed. They even got rid of all the little box scratches that came with the wheels when I bought the car new. There's probably a place like that in your neck of the woods. I'm going to be about ten times more careful when I park the bloody thing from now on, because $200 is not something I want to be spending on a regular basis. Still, I'm very happy with the results.
