Hey everyone. I am soo pissed. Today a curb jumped out at my G. I have the stock 17" sedan rims and the rear passenger side rim has a bit a curb rash on it. I will attach a pic. Can someone comment on how you can go about fixing this (where to take it) and how much they think it will cost. Thanks so much in advance.

iLLG35-
Yea def was really pissed. Thanks for your help. So I guess you havent fixed yours yet? I'm goin to a body shop on Monday to get a quote hopefully wont be too bad.

ANYONE who's gotten theirs fixed lemme kno how much I can expect so i don't [censored] my pants when I go in there. Hah thanks everyone!

 

I guess if you have a full size spare you could always just swap the rim out and toss that one in the trunk. It should be fine for everyday driving, and more than adequate for emergency situations.

 

I say live with it. Of course, that may not be an option.

Reason 1) Damn tough to notice when driving car.

Reason 2) Damn tough for others to notice when driving at speed.

Reason 3) Money better spent on _______. (Fill in blank.)

Reason 4) Who cares what others think about your rim.

Reason 5) It will always remind you to be careful of curbs.

I could go on and believe me, I've been in your shoes on this one. And I've felt the same way - got to get it fixed. I just think your particular damage is minor and I'd hate to see you spend your hard earned cash when a blemish of this sort is relatively minor.

Just got mine repaired at the dealership for about $130 a rim and it's perfect..I suppose it depends on how much you notice it.

 

Thanks everyone. For some reason my spare says temp. use only so thats out. And EVERYTIME I get in my G now i get pissed, so I really don't think I can leave it. $130 a rim isnt too bad so I think i will go for it. Thanks for your help everyone!
