Well, I was trying to pass an idiot in a BMW who was straddling his lane and the right turn lane, and I hit a curb with my front right wheel. Who's the idiot now?

As you know, the Advans stick out a mile, so it isn't pretty. I don't know if this sort of damage can be repaired, and especially color matched, as there isn't even touch up paint for these wheels. The spokes themselves are scratched up good, and somehow the edges are scratched too. I feel sick.









If you know of a shop in or around NJ that does a great job at repairing this sort of damage please let me know. I'd also like to supply them with a paint if Advan sells it. I'm hoping I don't have to spend $500 on a new wheel, but I feel like I might have to.

 

i feel your pain. i curbed my stockers and was sick to my stomach, can't imagine curbing advans or volks or something.

bump on finding a fix

 

Mobile wheel repair guys visit high end dealerships regularly, particularly BMW dealers. You should seek one out. I've seen and had worse repaired to like new.

 

Oh damnnnn

Yeah, high end dealerships can machine out the wheel. Should cost around $150.

 

Good to hear, thanks guys. I'll give my local BMW dealer a call to look into that.

I'm most worried about getting it color matched but I guess I'll see what the repair guy says.

 

Should have gotten ROTA's then you don't feel bad.

 

damn, didnt you hear the first scratch?

 

Hahah, I'm definitely thinking that now.

I turned as soon as I heard the scratch, but I guess it didn't take long for the wheel to rotate one time at whatever speed I was going. I missed one of the spokes, but apparently my reaction time wasn't good enough to miss the other 9

Ah, I'm so sad

 

That can be fixed. Too bad yer not closer. I do wheel repair & could get it color matched for ya. Yer gonna need a new Advan decal though.

 

OUCH DOOD!!! FAWK!!! I HATE seeing rims like that. Yeah you can get that fixed no problem. If you were in Socal, i know a few guys that can fix those with in HOURS if they're available and not too buys form morning to night and with a decent price too. But damn, those HURT my eyes looking at them.
Well, i hope you get those fixed asap mang. Those are some SICK *** RSs you got there!

 

Yeah, I've already been searching online for a new decal but haven't had any luck. I'm hoping a vendor can source one for me from Japan or something.

Thanks man, hopefully I'll be able to get it looking like new soon enough.

 

wow, that sucks, but definitely put up your solution when you get it fixed for the rest of us!

 

looks like it's been a while since that car's been cleaned...lol

 

ouch what a rash. but atleast it is repairable =) good luck

 

yea man, id be interested in hearing how u eventually get them fixed. ive got a couple of wheel issues to fix myself
