I'm sure it has been mentioned in this thread before, but I wanted to leave another positive note for Rite Way Wheel & Wire in Walnut Creek. I f'd up and curbed (for the first time in a decade) my 3-4 week old CCW Classics and dropped them at their shop. I got them back the following day and you could never tell they were curbed. $150 per wheel including tire mounting ($25).

I have what's called a diamond cut finish, think the wheel like a golf gti
Is there anywhere that can replicate this finish?

Wheel Techniques can refinish in diamond cut. Bring the wheel over and talk to them directly for details and pricing.

Default Looking for a 2015 IS F Sport Wheel

Just bought a 2015 F Sport. Less than 1,000 miles on it and I curbed my front right wheel today!

Looking to replace it or if someone knows a shop that can match the color that is an option too. I am in the SF Bay Area.

Honestly I would just live with it, I have one similar to yours, it's hardly noticeable really after you clean the area. Curb rashes will happen sooner or later. If you want to repair or replace, you should wait until you have more damage in the wheels first.

omg. that is so light. i would leave it. if you try to repair it, it will never look the same and will look worst.

i think most of that is dust and will clean off. if any, get some touch-up paint. i wouldn't recommend refinish.

wash ur car and get over it!

Moving this to the wheel repair thread.

A shop such as Wheel Techniques can match to OEM color. This wheel repair is no challenge to them to repair.

Contact them directly for a quote. They need to see the rim for a proper estimate.

Any other options for a refinish in the 916/209 area? They need a little work nothing major.

I did speak with him at Kwicksilver but he is unable to refinish the faces since they are machined. I've been in contact with Chris @Dipsht. The faces aren't my concern as much as the lips... going to strip the clear off the lips and refinish those keeping the faces clear coated for now.

Where is Dipsht located? It only says he is located in Norcal on his website.
