popesrv Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I'm ready to kick my own ass. My car is less than a month old and I scuffed one of my stock alloy rims while misjudging a curb while i was parking. Can anyone tell me if it's repairable and how much it would cost to fix? If not, how much a replacement would be? Thanks much, Shaun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strabismo Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Read this tutorial. http://bmwtips.com/tipsntricks/wheel-repair/wheel-scuff-repair.htm The hardest is to get a paint that matches your rim because I don't even think anyone even makes touch-up paint for silver Subaru rims. After that it's quite easy if you are meticulous and have good patience. It takes a lot of time but you will save a lot of money by doing it yourself instead of having it done.

Siper2 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Sucks, I know the feeling. I was coming home from work a couple of months ago, and got too close to a curb heading toward the on-ramp to the interstate. SCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAPE. Bloody hell. First time I've ever done that.
