Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

10 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Nasty curb accident - I cut a piece of the rim protector - it looks deep, but then again it's just the raised rubber - against a curb, and of course I also have curb rash now. I am going to guess the tire's still ok to drive on. What about the wheel? What's the best way to repair the curb rash? I am in the Boston area... Thanks!

POST 2Original post

drive by the local shop you got the tires at and ask.. Its my opinion that if you have no shake and its not losing air your ok

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Quotes source post: 7574557

ok no shake on the highway and i don't see any side wall bubbling - and no air loss, but the cut looks deep - take a look..but appears cosmetic. thank god for these rim protector things. is this rim repairable?

POST 4Original post

I've seen worse....and have done worse. I'd bet it can be fixed

POST 7Original post

looks pretty superficial. The tire should be fine, the rim will be filed, filled, sanded and spot painted. A fun DIY project or $100-$150 from a wheel repair service, my guess.

POST 8Original post

I recall seeing an Excellence article that had an easy fix for curbed wheels, or wheels needing a repaint.

POST 9Original post

Try 300 grit sand paper then go up to 600. Keep your motions to a minimum so you dont do additional damage. Once you have smoothed out the gouge, polish with good aluminum polish. I have done this several times and while it wont completely disappear, it will be much less noticeable. Use some crazy glue to reattach the tire chunk after you work the rim. As long as just the rim protector was damaged, the tire should be fine. Scott
