How much would this bother you ?

Soooooo
Managed to do this yesterday and not sure what to do...
It's rear passenger side...

I can just leave it as it is...
Repair for $120...
Or replace with new rim for $350...

******* annoying....

Over the last last 15 years I never scrached a wheel and then in last 12 months managed to do it twice...

I did something very similar to my black 19" wheels. I was distracted when I drove past my local dealership and they has a MY17 Spitfire green on display. Hit the concrete strip on the middle of the rd and took out a very small chunk of the wheel. Its annoying and I have been tempted to replace the wheel but I figured there are better things to spend $400 on so I just lived with it and applied some touch up.

I can understand anyone getting distracted by Spitfire. I'd go down the middle Ron and get it repaired.

@Ron Burgundy I’m sticking with repair. $120 for a repair or $350 for a rim and $400 for a tire = min $700. Sh*t even I you need to get the repair repaired you can do that for the next 5ish years and still come out on top.

Why $400 for a tyre? To me, it doesn't appear to be any damage to the tyre to warrant the replacement of it...

So that'd be $350 for the rim + $30 or so for a strip, fit and balance and keeping the rim ready for tyre to be fitted when replacements come around

I was thinking if he bought the rim and fitted it to the car and used the damaged one as a spare

I went into the fetal position just looking at yours.

Get it fixed.

Gonna go against the flow and say it won't bother me after the 2nd day...

3/4 wheels on my car all have various degrees of gutter rash/scraps...

 

[mpower]

$120 sounds steep last wheels i got done were $90 each.

but yeah, i'd fix it just like any other bump or scrape.

It just occured to me that the stock 18" spare will not fit brembo brakes....soooo new wheel it is ...
