Ok, don't wan to get this thread off topic but i have a work t1s wheel(so the lip isn't chrome) and it has curb rash, I've heard they have to redo the entire lip so it will end up shinier than the rest of the wheels, is this true? how long does fixing curb rash usually take?

I dont think you wanna re-do your whole lip Cause its a anodize lip bro. Forsure it gonna be diff from all the other ones after.

I don't want to, but is it true that I can't get rid of the curbrash without redoing the entire lip since its anodized lip?

+100000000000 on Rite-Way Wheels in Walnut Creek!! I took my painted Forged LMGT4s there after I smashed into a curb and rashed about 13 inches of the lip and they fixed them perfectlly in 1 day. 100% flawless color match and repair. cant even tell they were ever damaged. great prices and amazing work with aftermarket wheels. Highly reccomended. here are before and afters of the rash.




After

It was $100 a wheel. That includes mounting and rebalancing and no tax. Cash only.
