OK so long story short last night I curbed a wheel turning a corner. Its not bad about 3.5 linches long and very thin scar. In fact I doubt anyone but me would even notice it.

So if it were you which route woudl you take?

 

depends on what kind of wheel / finish it is. some could be repaired, some can't

 

When I had my Run Flats taken off, the place that took the tire off
scartched the ****** out of my rim's , They took them to a body
shop and had them repainted, I have the stock rims, They look nice
now and the paint has held up Great

 

if it bugs you, do it. then again, it also depends how careful of driver you are. it'd suck to get it fixed, then 2 months later curb it again.

 

Do you have the old pie plates or the new dual tone wheels?

 

If you are as **** and particular about your car as many of us are, I would explore the repair option first and depending on repair cost, I would consider a replacement.

 

Pretty much all oem wheels on most cars are an easy repair. The after market wheels on my SC are easily refinished and Ive had them done in the past no problems. The wheels on my other car (again after market) different story as they have a chrome cover around the rim.

If you can then I would as a nasty scuff can lead to corrosion.

 

Do you have pics of your rims?

Maybe it is time to which to something different.

Try on new kicks, feed your addiction.

 

i would would get it repaired if it was a small rash but yet again if it is to big of a rash i would consider looking or a new one

 

I just put these on, I don't want multiple sets of chrome 20s lol.

 

Dont feel bad, I just curbed my rim today. The curb goes around half the wheel. Im going to try and get it fixed. My wheels are only 2 months old!

 

I'm going to go with repair, its a relatively small thing (tenth of an inch wide or less, about 2.5 inches around.

 

If I hardly notice it then I wouldn't even bother with it. I may check to see if I can get it fixed and how much the repair cost, depending on the cost then I'd make the decision. I'm not too particular about my car, as long as it runs right and the top works then I'm good. I know other folks here wash/wax the ride on the regular, and that works for them. Just not me.

 

I get my car washed once a week, and handwaxed 3 times a year so I guess I can be a little particulair about it. I think its even smaller than I described, I only ever see it because I know where to look, even then there are times when I have to search for it.

 

If it's so small that you have to look for it sometimes, then I wouldn't even consider doing anything about it. Since it bugs you, then maybe you can get a new wheel and sell the current one on e-bay. With a scratch so minimal, I'm sure somebody else would be willing to buy it. You may also just want to try to buff it out - something that small may be pretty easy to buff, even on a wheel.
