The rim was $575.00. And my son has it in his room with a sign, moms first scratch. Ha Ha lol.

 

Pms1213 a buddy of mine owns AlloyWheelRepair and he is mobile.. he does excellent work!! If you are looking to get it fixed give him a call...his name is George 516-662-3314 tell him John with the blk G37 sent you.

Ahhh, the good ol' "the curb hit me" excuse. That one never gets old. haha j/k. Sorry to hear about that.

 

That sucks! I did the same thing with my G35 coupe, thankfully they never noticed it when I turned the lease in.

 

Curbed mine the first week too. Like Solo, just driving it--shows character (?).

 

Wow I hope you're joking when you say you bought a new rim... If you haven't picked it up yet seriously ask em about fixing it, I guarantee you won't be able to tell at least not $600 worth.

 

If I did not think that fixing it would make it look perfect....I would replace the wheel as well.

I will rarely parallel park because I do not want curb rash in my car. Yes over time this becomes less an issue, but man for the first year you gotta give your car some love.

I think she did right!

 

i think pms is officially the first mother on myg37.com.. Thats awesome

 

Sorry to hear about that damage, PMS1212. I'm always afraid I'm going to hit the curb when I parallel park. Instead, I end up about 18 inches away from the curb! But it's getting better.

 

Wow... scracthin a rim at night... and ordering one on Sunday... Thats big ballin in my book... But in reality ... that couldve paid for 2 20 in tires for new rims!!

Watch out for those curbs... they bite

 

Wow got a new rim already??? I would still fix it and keep it as a backup in case you get a worse curb rash and you can put the other one back on for the lesser of the rashes ahahha...


i also rarely parallel park....do u guys think there are potholes from hell that can "curb rash" the rims? in michigan with all the salt eatin away at the roads my biggest fear is a pothole either bending my rim or curb rashing it. I check my tire pressure every week just to make sure im not low - since lower the air pressure weaker the wheel against a pothole....

 

I'll echo the sentiments of others here by saying that could've easily been fixed for $100 by someone with the right skills. My dealership has a guy who does this and you can't tell anything ever happened to the rim once he's done with it.

 

My girlfriend curbed my rim the 2nd week...it was a rash spanning about 15" all around the rim, and the dealer fixed it for $125, looks brand new, minus the red spot on all factory rims....let me know if u are willing to sell that rim...lol

 

how much did the new rim cost you??

 

It was posted at $575.


That's two tires, mounted and balanced. Could have been fixed for less than $150
