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

Hey guys. I am new to this forum so If this is in the wrong spot please let me know or you can move it
I just bought some turbo twist wheels that have a curb rash for a good deal and I was wondering if anyone has seen or know about someone posting a DIY for fixing up these wheels with curb rash??
I was searching but couldnt find any so all the help will be appreciated
Here are the pictures of the wheels that has the curb and I also posted a thread I found for VW oweners on how to fix Longbeach wheels.
Does anyone know the name of the color of these wheels or a place I can find the stuff to fix these. Thanks alot.

Check this post ^ out. what do you all think?
I tried that procedure once, with a BMW wheel. It turned out okay when done, but you really have to paint the whole wheel for it to look good. Then, after some time, the clearcoat turned yellow, I don't know if it was from heat, or the sun. And the paint was not tough enough to handle rock chips, lots of them!
Nope, I wouldn't recommend that.
My wheel ended up in the shop for powder-coating.
have any of you guys heard about Wurth.com. I was talking to a guy that fixes wheels that have curb rashes on them and he said that generally all german wheels have the same color (that silver) and Wurth.com sells the paint so I can do it. He told me basically i can buy a putty they sell in the auto stores and sand it and then paint it and clear coat it myself. let me know what you'll think.. and thanks for all the advise.

I had some rash on my twist's. I decided to have them sandblasted and powder coated. The rash is gone. The powder coat actually filled areas in question. It will not fill a deep gash though.
Any local place could do it. My guy charged $90/wheel for a gun metal grey and clear coat..
I plan to refinish my wheels this summer. In addition to the links already posted, here are a few more.

That's what I used, Wurth. I was looking all over for the invoice but coudn't find it. Can't remember the guy's name whom I spoke with at that place. He was a nice guy, we had a lot of back and forth discussion over the phone. First they sent me the wrong paint, which I USED! Then I had to redo. He rushed the paint to me, and later gave me a $50 voucher to shop online. Too bad it didn't work out.
I'd strongly advise you to have it professionally done. OR, don't take my word for it, try it and see for yourself....
I had a 6" smile on one of my front wheels (from a previous owner). I found these guys on the internet and the local guy did a great job of fixing and repainting (he also does all the wheel repair for the local dealer). Charged $125 (Canadian). I'll be back to him with two wheels from my wifes Benz that my son has damaged during his adventures in parallel parking.
They have locations all over the place.

You can order old issues of Excellence from their website. I did refinish my twists this weekend for about $20.00 and 6 hours. They are now "resting" for the week or so before I use them. Excellent article...very easy to do.

I used the same product the owner of that online store recommends for Porches, and all German wheels, WURTH.
BTW, it cost me only $75 to powdercoat one wheel, professional finish, durable, and they will fix any curb rash or damage first.
thanks alot guys for all your help. I think someone is going to scan and send me the 23 dollar deal b/c it is hard for me to find this magaizine and i dont have time to wait untill it arrives if I would order it online.
but if anyone wants to also chip in and send me via email the "23 dollar deal" so i can read it.
