Cost to Fix Rims
Cost to Fix Rims
My car is less then a month old. Parking it against the curb I rubbed it a little. But a little does quite a bit of damage. Is it possible to fix the damage and if so how much?
I know this is a weird question, but I can't be the only person that felt like an *** for doing this. I mostly want to fix it to cover up the embarrassment of hitting the curb.

depends on where you are, but you can probably get it done for around $125-$150 a wheel. And no, you're not the first one - they F you at the drive-through.
I bought my G37 used and the RF wheel was already resurfaced and painted, but they did a shotty job and the paint was flaking. The dealer repaired it for free, but if you're in the United States they can't use the OEM wheel paint because it contains lead. Mine don't look exactly the same as the other 2 wheels that have not been resurfaced. YMMV, though.

I found a few places that will do it but they are all mobile. I live in a condo that won't even allow me to wash my car. I can't have a truck out in front of my place for 1-3 hours.
Still can't believe I did that. I haven't hit a curb in years. I guess it is because it is a new car.

If it's just standard curb rash, that can be fixed and will look brand new. Like the other guy said, $125-150. If it's severely damaged it may not be able to be fixed. Can you post a pic?
I found a place that will do it for $175. It is a flat fee, so even with mine being minor I still pay the same. I'm having it done early in the morning and just hoping condo doesn't fine me for it. HOAs are so annoying.
