Day 2: Scratched Wheel
So I caught a curb on a traffic circle on day 2 of ownership. Im not terribly worked up over it but I would, if possible, like to repair this damage. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I have no idea what I should do.
Gracias! |

I have to tell you boys, you all made me feel so much better. I never do this shit, but I will be lucky after driving a mountain for six months if I get out of dealers lot before the lip is ruined, tires scratched and ego killed.
Thank you, thank you so much and I will post pictures so you can laugh at me. @nex You are my new favorite person in the whole world. I'm sorry you had to do that to get the title though.

I curbed my driver rear wheel last night...currently getting it refinished but the guys are saying that it will be slightly brighter because the finish will be brand new. I was hesitant but the guy promised that it will not be tremendously noticeable.... but I am still worried. I do have the black wheels.

Here I am, all high and mighty, thinking to myself... "Just be careful you fools" and then what happens not even 30 min ago? FU6K!!! Backing up and got distracted which was then closely followed by the horrifying sound of my tire contacting a curb. Damn.

This is why I put Alloygators on my wife's car with 21's. Hard to spot unless your looking or up close, they've now saved the wheels 7+ times. The rear right would have been a complete mess.
They get scratched up but I just bang them back into place after she tests one. |
