Chrome Maido Wheels scratched

I have the Maido chrome multi-piece wheels. I have scraped them against the crub. It's looks bad. Since, it's a mult-piece wheel can i just buy the piece i need. Or will i have to buy another wheel?

Let me guess... u scratch the front right? cuz of the 20x9 on a 245 tire, the wheel sticks out a bit. Thats why gotta becareful on those front wheels. Next time, im gonna get 255 in the front...

Same thing happened to me last night. Scratched a rim on a curb.

If anyone knows of a place in the LA area that will repair rims please let me know.

R1cky,

I was considering your setup with 245 on19x9. How much does the wheel stick out of the tire? Do tires with rim protection solve this problem?

thanks

I wouldnt recommend u mount a 19x9 on a 245 series tire. Go with 255, its safer... The lip of the wheel sticks out of the tire about 1/2cm.

I agree. The lips sticks out alot. Looks good though. You can see those bad boys coming.

Argg.. Sorry to hear both of you guys scratched your lip. You probabably want to see if they can repair them, before buying and a brand new lip.
