Curb rash on vossens

I came across some curb rash and chips on my vossen vfs2 satin bronze finish. Cant remember when it happen. Looks pretty bad imo. Can it be fixed? Wasnt sure if the bronze finish would remain if sanded down. Or if there was a particular way to fix these.Heres some pics

Might contact Vossen and see if there's a paint code they could give you, they may even have a shop that can refinish it, it's at least worth a call. There's also those mobile wheel repair vans that do good work but having the wheels in bronze complicates things.

Were these a custom color or are they factory colored from Vossen?

I would play it safe and call vossen and see if they would sell you an extra wheel and just keep that one as a spare.

That is easily repaired by a competent wheel repair place. They will get rid of the rash and you will never know it ever existed after repair.

Curb rash

I've had a curb rash on my Vossens CV3 in matte graphite and a wheel repair shop fixed mine for about $95 per wheel. After they were done you couldn't even tell where the damage was. I also had a wheel repair from the dealership cuz they damaged my wheel and the color didn't match. So I'd suggest finding a good wheel repair shop to do it.
