:x ____!

i just got my new gunmetal rims installed yesterday and today its already chipped!
i guess that's what i get for being lazy and going to an automatic car wash. :cry:

is there anyway to touch it up or make it less visible?

Auto wash scraped the ____ out of my c5's and the first time I went with my scion, scratched the ____ out of the hubs. Is the rim in gunmetal or polished?

ouch!!! it hurts!!!...
dont even think about auto carwash if u have lowered / aftermarket rims...

if its not really major damage, dont fix it...cuz i kno wheels repair shop charge almost the same price if u have more damages

thanks for sharing you experience, showpaojoe. my wheels are entirely gunmetal.
its not one those ones with polished lip.

i was thinking of touching it up with dark grey, glossy spray paint.

what do you guys think? :?:

OUCH!! Sorry to hear about your recent scratches. Hope everything turns out ok, but next time wash it your self man! If need be go to a touchless carwash and they should have no problem washing your ride!! :D Thats were I go when I am lazy
