I just curbed my wheel just now getting to close when parallel parking. It was too damn dark to see.
I know nothing bout wheels stuff so.. how bad is it?
sorry bout the bad picture quality.. but i took it in the dark and sony cameras suck(DSC T7).

If I plan to get it fixed can it be fixed without the wheel being removed?

 

Ouch! that happened to me the first (or was it second) week I had my G! bummer. still need to get it fixed.

 

uhmm this IS the first week i had my G
more pics




so is the damage serious?
The damage won't worsen if i just leave it right? like corroding or something?

 

...looks serious too me.
seems like chunk of metal is torn out
its best idea to take it to local shop.
good luck...;

It's a franchise. Went to one in Jersey and my rim looks brand new again. You can't see or even feel where it was damaged. Looks perfect.

 

They're not in the Bay Area! My co-worker told me about this place http://www.wheeltechniques.com/index.html anyone heard of it? Are they any good? i haven't had a chance to take it in yet.

 

so is it okay to leave a curbed rim as is?

 

I haven't had a problem with it yet. I don't think it's a big problem... just an eye sore!

 

called wheel technique, they said the repairs would be in the $140-200 range and would take 1-5 days..
wheel america seems like a better choice.

 

Holy Crap! 200 bux for that? what a rip off! mine is bigger than yours.. so it will probably be more... no way! where is Wheel America?

 

There's one in Sacto though I think so that's not a horrible drive, just do it on a saturday. I drove like 2+ hours to go to the place at the jersey shore, damn glad I did.

 

Hey kajoob,how much did it cost you?

 

Guy I went to in jersey charged me $125 plus tax, so $132.50. I thought that was more than fair cause the rim is absoultely perfect and it had a pretty bad gash.

 

I had my 18" rim repaired just recently. They did a great job of fixing the lip on mine......Heres a couple of before and after pics.....

 

so I can get the rim fixed without the tyres and rims removed from the car?
cause I don't have a spare wheel, and will i need an alignment if the wheel was removed(pls don't flame if i'm wrong, auto newbee )?
