Hello,

Unfortuantely I am still getting used to the car (I used to have a smaller WRX STi) - I made a small nick in the rim of the rear wheel, about 2" long, not that bad actually.

How much do replacement wheels cost for the car - does anyone know? How well do the wheel repair programs work? The dealer's service menu lists $150 for a repair - the nick is pretty small.

I did the same thing. A new rim costs around $1,000 I'm told. You definitely want to go the repair route. I used Alloy Wheels and highly recommend them. They charge $200 for just about any repair but do amazing work. Lots of people recommend Rim Doctor, they are very cheap (like $75-$100) and claim to be the same, but I don't trust them because it is so much cheaper. I know that the paint used on our wheels costs $200/quart for them to buy it from their suppliers so Rim Dr might not be using the same stuff.

 

Wow, that's a lot - more than the $3000 BBS rims on my old Suby STi!

 

Where are you located? If you are anywhere near the DC area, I could provide a referral.

 

costed me $250 including dismounting / remounting including balancing

 

My husband nicked one of my rear wheels. My body shop got me a new one for $591. But now I have the old one to sell....ebay here I come!!
