Help! Curbed rims
So annoyed. I've been traveling for the past month and I finally get in my baby and I'm driving. Of course, since it's Arlington, there's freakin construction and I curbed my rims while driving. Anyone know how to/where to get it fixed?

By the title, I hated even to open up your post affraid of what I would see.
Any good rim repair service can make it look like new, even dealerships have them come in for repairs but you can save money and make the call yourself. Lots of them around MD/DC/VA, some will come right to your door, Google them, get it fixed and feel better again. Probably around $125 I believe. As an alternative there are some DIY kits online but your damage looks like it's better if you get a professional do the repair IMO. Not to worry, repairs done right look fantastic with no hints of repairs.

I've yet to see a single wheel repair that didn't look like a repair. Polished wheels are even more difficult.
check the shops work b4 giving them the go ahead.

There's a couple of great spots in the area! These shops need to actually see the wheels to give you pricing. Most cosmetic work runs about125 per wheel. Full restoration including bends and cracks runs as high as $225 per wheel. Over the years I've had my BBS repaired by both shops in the past and the wheels look brand new after dealing with potholes, a teenage driver, and a non side camera using father in law.

Sorry to see this. It sucks all the way around. On the bright side I have seen some people get the wheels fixed and you would never know. There are some excellent wheel workers around. Hope you find one.

Alloy Wheel Repair Specialist is a good call - I went to annapolis@awrswheelrepair.com - be prepared to spend $150

I'm having the same issue. None of my dealerships around me can match the 2 tone 19" Black Rims. (Or they are missing one of the tones)

So I called alloy wheel solutions and talked to Dave. Basically the way they would do it is fill it in with alloy, paint it all grey, then cut it to get the dual tone and it'll look like new then put a clear coat on it. Cost is $279 a rim. Not sure if it's worth it yet because it's bound to happen again so debating if I should wait and then do it all in one go or do it each time it happens

Had the same problem. Not going to get them repaired until winter. But couldn't stand looking at them. So as a temporary solution I installed RimBladesUSA. Hides the rash nicely.

Actually I think it was silver/gray. But there are lots of colors.
