Best way to handle a wheel damaged by curb rash

[jrothman]

I just curbed my front passenger side wheel and I'm wondering - has anyone found a way to treat this without replacing the wheel outright? I currently have 22" Sport Brights on a Gen 2. Eventually I'd like to move on to the Range wheels, but that's 10 - 15K miles down the road, so it would be great to treat it in some way so it's not quite so glaring. I'll take any advice you might have - DIY or the kind of repair shop to look for or service to inquire about. Has anyone had any success taming this kind of thing short of replacing the whole wheel? Thank you!

I’ve never had to do it, but wheel repair is very common. Just look up “alloy wheel repair“ in your area and you should find at least a couple shops that can handle it.

I did this to my 22” Dark Sport Wheels while underestimating a u-turn. Someone on our forums recommended Rim Repair RX (https://rimrepairrx.com/). They did an amazing job and it only cost me $150! I don’t know where you live but I’d see if they are in your area. If not, there are other similar shops that do this.

This right here. For about $150 they will make it like it never happen.

Thanks so much! I'm in Brooklyn, but on the lookout for similar shops around here. This is super helpful. $150 would be incredible.
