fuuuu, drove my last car 3 years no curb. Bought a new one and curb it in 3 weeks. Anyway, I would like to get it fixed but not sure the process of fixing and how long it takes. It is not really possible for me to be without the car since I work 2 jobs. The wheel is machined face with black accent. The curb mark is several inches along the circular edge and there is maybe a chip in the black accent. If I can get it like 95% looking like new I would be happy.

I know pics would help but its dark and I'm just upset with myself so wanted to post straight away, will post pics tomorrow.

Yeah, tell me about it, I went 16 years on my old car and same as you with the new one. I like Wheel Collision Center in Bath, PA. You can do a trade-in for a fixed wheel (so you buy a fixed wheel from them, they UPS it to you, you bring it to a tire place and get it swapped out, then UPS the old wheel back to them and they refund you a core charge).

Not the best pics, but you get the idea. I'd say its about 7 or 8 inches. Anyone have an idea on who can fix this and cost?

You with a bottle of touch-up paint for $4.99? Maybe Big-A Detailing will do it for you, he's a member here.

The wheel is machined face, not silver painted like most stock wheels.

Where is Big A detailing?

1. Sandpaper and clear paint.
2. Body shop
3. Live with it
4. Trade the wheel in as I suggested in post #2
