Default Curb rash on a lease?

Turning in my leased GS350 Fsport this week and I traded my 20' wheels to someone with the oem Fsport wheels and they're a little rashed up. Anyone with experience on this? Would you have them fixed or is it considered normal wear and tear? Thanks..

If you are going to lease another Lexus? Then, I wouldn't worry about it. If not, you can schedule an inspection before you turn in, to be safe

I found this online might help

I thought so too about fixing mine before returning a lease but they didn't bother about it even my front window had small crack and I didn't pay anything extra. Park place Plano if that helps.

Did you do the preinspection or just turn it in at PPP?

I took it two days before the return day for a pre return inspection thinking about the list they'll give me to fix it but the mileage was almost done and they kept the keys thinking i have come to drop the car off, I was surprised how laid back all the staff was about the pre return inspection, even though I was calculating how much I'll have to spend to get it all fixed specially the front windshield.

Cool, having some anxiety about my 2013 that's going back any day now thanks to worn front tires, but I think maybe they'll cut me some slack. Fingers crossed.
