Can you fix it yourself? Prob not

But you can certainly call a wheel repair shop and have it fixed. It would prob set you back about $75-100 which is better than buying a new rim.

Yes. Look up "Wheel repair" in your area.

SuperSport17 · 04-04-2010, 11:21 PM

Yes, easy fix. i do wheels very often. needs to be repaired and painted again. get your local wheel repair shop or someone you can trust, not expensive about $100 or so like blink323 said.

I know the feeling. Curb rash is real idiot itess. There are people who can repair them and you can never tell when they are done. I bought the first wheel at $420.00

Or... You can also watch the forum for peeps that upgrade their wheels. I bought a set of 4 midnight silver for 500.00. 4 wheels for almost the price of one, or the individual repair expense. Then you have others to exchange out. You just have to wait until there is a deal on them out there. Though sometimes they have little rock chips in them already, but that is still better than the curb rash. I rashed 2 at one time, was really an idiot if I do say so myself...

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'm going to set up a deal with a forum member to get 2 front rims.
