Nope, rumor states it's some type of lead based paint which is banned in the US.

Just ask the dealer who they use and take it to them instead. My dealer charges $180/wheel. I got it fixed by the same people(bypassed the dealer) and they did it for $110.

hahahahaha no more puppy in the car...at all.

thanks a lot guys for the advise...damn it, i dont know what to do now. Cause some of you guys say it wont look perfect, maybe i should just get a new rim...

by the way, there isn't anything wrong with the tire...it just looked like that in the picture. It's perfectly fine, just the rim.

I'll see what the options are, i'll check out the place magicure here in philly

When I got the wheel repaired I had a couple of my friends look at the wheel (who hadn't seen it when it was damaged) and neither one could tell where the damage was. Maybe if you used a magnifying glass, but to the naked eye it looks perfect, even after a year since it was repaired.
