anyway to help it?

Besides learning how to park? lol

 

www.autopia.org

There is a pretty good article on there about how to fix curb rash.

 

depending on the finish, you might be able to repair it.

I know sanding/grinding and repainting the painted finishes have been coming out good, and un-noticable.
As for chrome, good luck. Polished is going to require a load of work.

 

your probibly gonna have to take it to a wheel repair shop they can fix the rash and refinish the wheels , cost about 75.00 - 90 per wheel dont know where in new york you would go for that but their pretty common to find

 

depends on how badly you trashed the wheels and the finish on them
be careful!

 

sucks. : (

 

curb feelers lol

 

pics?

 

Ya man, i feel your pain. My passenger rear tire got bit the curb a while ago, and i was really sad to see it like that, especially since i just got it.

 

wth are curb feelers anyway?

 

Anyone know of some touch up paint for the stock wheels? I used some my Silver Streak Mica touch up to cover up the rash for now, but you can tell it doesn't match.

 

curb feelers tell you when you are too close to a curb, they rub and you hear it before your rims rub


for the color match, you could try and take off the wheel and bring it into an autozone or something and match it up.

i did that with my old car, it took me 3 trips of picking up the wrong shade of gunmetal finish before i took the wheel in. i'm sure they thought it was funny because i was driving on a donut, but whatever it matched perfectly. i'm pretty sure our rims are considered hyperblack

if you can't find a match, you could bring it into an autobody or paint shop and having them whip up a custom match bottle of touchup, but it might be like $50+

Thanks! I got the impression that is what they are for, but I couldn't find a pic like the one you provided to show me how they are installed. Seems like curb feelers are a joke on the forum? Because it implies you can't park or something?

 

I think id use them if i spent like 1000 on each rim or something, and Ig get them in clear
