PERFECT REASON TO GET IT FIXED AN PAINT UR STOCKEIS BLACK U WONT SEE the chunk missing!

 

Common and an easy fix for a painted wheel.

 

The paint is hard to match. Ask your dealer who they use for wheel repair.

 

People keep saying the paint is hard to match which I don't understand. 1) no, it isn't. That's what wheel refinishers do. 2) they are going to refinish the entire wheel so there won't be an issue of it being "two toned" 3) if it is a tiny shade off from the OE color, the only possible way you could notice it is to take off one of the other wheels and put them next to each other and compare them. The wheels sit 7 feet apart from each other when on the car, how will you detect any tiny shade difference between the 2 of them?

Who has actually had a curbed wheel refinished?

 

The Infiniti authorized body shop down here charges $175 to fix that type of damage.

CO-Sign. I got mine done but my damage wasnt as bad as yours..

 

Sucks big time man. But its all good you'll probably fix that baby up and be back on the streets in no time.

 

That looks fixable to me. I feel your pain though. Both of my front wheels are curbed pretty bad...

 

Sorry. I read this really quickly. I thought he ran into the curb from the side (happened to me). I brought it to 3 different rim repair shops (including the best - Wheel Collision in PA) and they all said it can't be fixed.

Hopefully those are just cosmetic. The paint is 3 stage process so yes, it is pretty hard to match. Not impossible, be really hard. Most refinishes will look a teeny bit brighter.

 

man.. Your precious wheel.
Wheel still looking good. I wonder if you can buff it out with steel or wool paper and repaint it with similar color.

 

Cheap and easy fix. Glad there was no body damage

 

yea i'll weight my options out over the winter, but for now im getting the car re-aligned since the whole steering is outa whack!! i may go the route of getting all 4 wheels powder coated in the winter in a darker hyper gunmetal color..we shall see..
