Default I curbed one of my wheels :(

Put some air in my tires to discover about a 4" long series of small, deep gashes on the lip of my passenger rear wheel, it thoroughly pissed me the **** off. I don't remember ever grinding into any curbs.


I don't think it's repairable, if it is it'd probably be cheaper to buy a new wheel.


I'd just like to express my displeasure.

Phail. I've had my rims/tires for 3 months, not a single curb hit. *knock on wood*

lawl, thats not bad at all!
since the lip is simply polished and unfinished a shop could fix that for less than 50 easily
would have to remove and then remount and balance that tire though, really not about the expense, but rather the hassle

How would they fix that? It's kind of irregular and not a simple rash, they'd have to file down a lot of the rim.

/\/\ they would sand it down to a smooth finish and you'd barely notice it after that. it cant be made perfect, but it can be made to look much better than it does.
