Anyone ever done their own wheel rash repair?

[GlossyTundra]

I picked up a set of silver TRD BBS 18" wheels. 2 of the wheels have a few nicks in them and I would rather not pay $200 to get them fixed.



Has anyone ever done this to their wheels? I am confident I could do the wheel repair, but I am more worried about the paint matching the BBS wheel. The Wurth can says it matches any German silver wheel, and this is German, and it`s silver, but it does not look similar to BMW wheels.

Check with the guys at Colony Tire over in Wake Forest - they have a guy that repairs rims.

Ehh, the rims are being sold anyway, just figured if I could do it myself I would save some greenbacks.

Best bet would be to go to a automotive paint mixing place and have them match the paint. I have helped a friend do rash repair and it is not difficult just need to find matching paint. Or you could repaint all 4 wheels and not have to worry about the color matching.

Hey Brandon,



How much do you want for the set? 6 lug I`m assuming? I`m in Wake Forest / North Raleigh.



Thanks!
