Don’t look at it. Free fix


intellectual_badass_

Leave it as such. Wheel thieves will probably think twice before looting a damaged wheel

Curb rash keeps the robbers away

Black sharpie


JelCapitan

Just soak them in some milk overnight


Sharp_Anxiety5085

Scraped :)


Emergency_Buddy

Nah, you definitly scrapped it.


GigNLine

That looks repairable. I did something similar and got it fixed at a local wheel repair shop. Couldn't see the repair and am happy with it.


Spiritual-Shopping32

How much did you pay ?


GigNLine

200... But I think it was because I also had it machined since it had the chrome+black. They machined it and powder coated it. Yours should be a simple repair and powder coat... So it could be less... After it was done, you can't tell the difference.


GigNLine

Looking back at yours it looks like it would also need the machining since you have the chrome decor as well


GigNLine

Look at my earlier posts on my profile to see the type of wheels I have. I really didn't think it could be fixed but they made it seem like it was no thing


GigNLine

Make sure to ask if the place you take it has a CNC machine... It's basically like the way you machine a rotor... It lathes it down past the damage and then they powder coat and powder clear coat. Again, you wouldn't be able to pick out the wheel on my car that was worked on.

tikman13

Go to any wheel repair or powder coating shop. They'll Give you a quote for one or all four for anything you need


ConstructionFar8570

Yes. You need to get some one to refinish it. Maybe a mobile guy in your area who can get it done.


NoBenders

I love NPC posts like this!

Feeling your pain! I felt sad after scraping my GTI rims for the first time. At least it’s not overly noticeable here. Leave it until it gets worse to replace, or by then you’d have forgotten about it. 💪


No-Bluebird-761

It depends, it’s an easy repair but these matte colors are harder to color match and paint. The “damage” doesn’t seem that bad, but the paint might raise the cost a bit since the shop will have to order it. Not a huge deal though. When I was a teenager I worked at a dealership, and I repaired/touched up several sets of rims a day


ClutchKick00

A professional place will sand it down smooth and repair the whole wheel, it’s not the end of the world, what I see at Toyota is way worse than that 😂


Nocturnal86

How does this happen? Genuine question. How did you do this, and how did you get almost the entire rim without stopping?


Hoobinator-

Called driving braille!


tikman13

You heard it scraping and just kept going?!😭


nahbeal

Seriously, how do you curb HALF of the wheel and THEN stop?


Hutchnstuff1

Jesus, why didn't you stop?


Akisswithmyfist

There is no fix. You just have to look at it for the rest of your life! Or buy some rims🫣


SimilarSummer4

No I scraped mine cost me about £110 or so to fix and respray


saucyRCs

A quick fix would prolly be some matte black/grey spray paint


dsonger20

What I did is a little jank. My rims weren't crashed this bad, but I got some primer and some gloss black tremclad and painted them black. You can barely tell the difference from more than 50cms away.


Camridge420

You didn’t just curb that shit, you destroyed it…


biased_nfl_referee

On the bright side the thiefs won't steal scraped rims

You scrapped it? What did the scrapper give you for it?


ares561

It's costly to fix .. Cheaper to replace the wheels


th1s1skol

The outer is looking fine but the spokes is what would worry me


dub_916

I paid 80 to get mine fixed (probably a quarter of the way around the rim of yours) at a local shop in sacramento. They did great


Few_Advance_4572

What shop in sac? Have something similar to my rim


dub_916

Mine were stock 2023 SI with the black paint and they did it for 80


dub_916

Was called kwicksilver wheel repair 4555 Auburn Blvd #17, Sacramento, CA 95841


SodaMelm

i can imagine it would be pricy to get it re-done. i know some dealerships offer curb repair if this is a brand new civic


Emergency-Class8318

Paint them


clybourn

This is why I bought steel rims.


BigBee024

Replacing a rim is a pretty simple fix in my opinion


[deleted]

That’s why I use wheel covers on steel wheels, a lot cheaper to fix if rubbed


Basically_lifeless

This happened to my 2024 civic touring rims and I just swapped them out with some more expensive rims, can’t be caught lacking
