A couple of weeks ago, while parking, rubbed my passenger front rim against the curb
It was driving me nuts but finally got it fixed this morning:

Which paint did you use?

 

Did you sand it down first or just paint over? It looks good!

 

Sorry, I should of gave you more details....I had onsitewheels do it.

Drove to their shop this morning and had it done in about an hour. Son (the owner) did a great job

 

I'm sensing another DIY thread in your future Sergio
Nice work, and do tell

 

I had son redo my wheels last year. Really cool guy. Too bad I left SoCal -_- could use a touch up.

 

Hey, Son Tran is the wheel God in the OC, He did my stock wheels a little over
a year ago and just perfect outcome. Drove 60 miles from IE, well worth it.

 

sorry but there is no DIY here...you REALLY got to know your stuff to get this right

 

What do they fill the gouges with? Body filler?

That I dont know.
But I can say it that when the process it done it looks like the oem rim.

 

For filling divots.
I've done a few sets of wheels over the years, and used glazing putty (I think that is what it is called), also used something called "Nitrostat" but that was back in high school. When I did them I was painting the whole wheel.
When I got my g37 the PO must have had a thing against curbs, wheels or both. Took it to Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists (franchised) and they blend in the repaired area with the rest of the wheel. The Hyper Silver color is pretty tough to match but they can do it. Since all four wheels had to be repaired, I elected to have someone else do them. Ran $90 per wheel and turned out great.
