First time was avoiding some drunk driving in the middle of a road which had a 45º turn, and to avoid him, i had to over correct the turn and hit my rear left tire.

Tonite, i was in chicago, and i was parked and some ****sucker was parked close as hell behind me and i scraped my right wheel trying to maneuver out.

How the hell do i fix this?

 

send to a shop to get it fixed

 

walmart?

what "shop" and how much can i expect to pay?

 

Take it to a wheel repair shop and they'll give you an estimate. Look it up in the Yellow Pages.

 

Atooraya you can go to any wheel/rim sales store and ask them for a referral of shop to repair your wheels. Shop around though! Could be $100-200 per wheel.

Damn I feel your pain! I have 2 curb rashes in 2 weeks! New 20' DPE's

No one has fessed up to my rear wheel, either my lady friend or little brother!

but the front is all me...

No more going thru the drive thru after the club for me.

 

I did a great write up post on fixing this a while back as I did the same thing a while back and fixed it myself.

I tried searching for it.....

 

That f*ckin sucks sorry to hear that
Try calling a tire and rim shop alot of them do rim repair & if they dont im sure they can give you a good referral...

U must live up north or downtown cause I had the same sh*t happen to me off erie

 

What kinda tires do you have? When I talked to Ryan he told me to get Toyo's TR1's cause they have the rim protector on them its suppost to prevent curb rashes...

 

i would really appreciate that DIY thread .

They're not REALLY noticable unless they get pointed out

 

i heard some people pay 200 per rim to fix em

 

I live in the Tampa area. A guy who does business with the name "Wheels Like New" came to my office and fixed my curbed wheel for only $60 while I was at work. Looks perfect. Ask your dealer for a referral.

 

what do they use to do it?

 

i have a curb rash on one of my dpes too....200 is cheap compared to a 800 for a new rim

 

until you scratch it 4 times and you could have just bought a new rim

 

Local Infiniti dealership charges a flat rate of $120 a wheel. I'm assuming this is only for OEMs but you could call and ask.

I'm also looking to fix one of my front rims but I'm still looking for a shop in socal that will do it for a reasonable price.

If your curb rash isn't bad, you can always use wet sand paper and smooth it out yourself...
