curb rash nightmare

I was parking my car today and as I noticed when I was pulling in I was too close to the curb, so I turned the steerring wheel and all i hear is duhdudhdudhdudhduh. HOly sh*T!. I thought it was just the tires but then when i looked at it, my heart skipped two beats. I had a minute of silence and then i just got really pissed.

the scratches along the rim are about 1-2 mm deep and about 10 of them. they';re reaally ugly. Is it fixable? Has anyone had the same problem as me? I have iforged 19's two piece flux. I damaged the front one (19 by 8).

My friend told me I should go to RimPro in tewksbury, MA. Has anybody heard of them? And are they skilled at doing iforged rims?

-Will

Re: curb rash nightmare

are the lips clearcoated? if not it will be pretty easy fix depending on how bad they are most likely they can fix it while its on the car if there not clearcoated, but if the lips are clearcoated there gonna have to take apart the wheel to refinish it. If this place RimPro is willing to fix wheels while there on the car I might take a ride to get my curb rashs fixed. Post some pics of the wheel.

Re: curb rash nightmare

I just joined the club.
Just happened 5 minutes ago.
First thing it do? Wash off the curb dust.

Then i hear my soul scream in anguish.

Then i come onto G35driver.com

How fast is this www.fixrim.com place?
Can i walk in and have it done and walk out?
