Yeah, I think its in the DIY section. But it calls for aluminum putty, something I have never been able to find. Others have used bondo successfully.

If you find any aluminum putty, let me know, I have a bit of curb rash myself. I know how you feel.

Aluminum putty, get it close to the right shape, let it dry, sand it, paint it.

you might be better off taking it to a specialist for repair (high end body shop) for a flawless work.

+1, there are plenty of places that refinish wheels.

I did it myself on my '06 a couple of times, but after buying the materials - of which I used very little - and devoting my time, it probably still wasn't as good a job as someone that knows what they are doing would have done.

doubled24 · 08-24-2009, 11:43 AM

75-150 bux per wheel depending on how bad u curbed it and who's doing the repair. I curbed one of my new rims being a fuckin dumbass this weekend... just goes to show i need to quit being a fucking dumbass.
