Was parallel parking while on the job and curbed my back right wheel slightly. Can this be fixed for cheap? Any suggestions on places in Miami or South Florida in general all the way up to palm beach? It's not deep at all, just paint scuffing.

Or is there any way I can repair this myself? I'm pretty pissed off to say the least.

Most wheel repair shops can fix that for ~$100 or less.

$100 seems a bit low, considering the wheel will need to be repainted, i'd expect to pay around 200/wheel, thats what it cost me to get a rim fixed and painted

yea gonna be about $200 to do this, just to strip and hopefully re coat wheel in matching color will be $100 alone.

You're kidding me? fuck. That just made this job basically worthless.

Are there any less expensive ways to repair the wheel? DIY stuff?

The rash isnt that bad, I would try possibly sanding down smooth. But then you still run into the issue of getting the wheel re coated properly, might be time to just get them all coated another color.

Maybe the curb jumped out at you?

What time of day was this? I've heard they can get quite ornery in the morning.

Good luck getting the color to match. The wheel paint color code is one of the holy grails of the GT-R world.

Chief, any luck on "FIX?" If not, you are right there in Miami with ADV1 - - call and ask Miguel who he recommends...
