Default is there any way to fix curb rash?

was heading home today from picking up my new tires and the weather here in kansas sucks right now(been snowing for 2 days now), anyways lost control and spun out and hit the curb. both of the wheels on the right side of the car got curb rashed.

heres a pic


is there any way to repair this, or a shop that can do it?

thanks

Since, judging by the picture, your damage is just abrasion on the surface... it'd probably be in the $100 - $150/wheel cost range at most wheel repair shops. There are plenty across the states, some of which are actually mobile wheel repair shops.

yea i was thinking that as well. if they are around 150 bucks i might as well buy new ones, there 16' rota track r wheels. i saw a video on youtube about this stuff called techno weld used to repair the scuffs. i might look into that or see how much a shop can do it.

definitely possible.... i had kerb rash on all 4 of my wheels and got it fixed...some were even worse than urs...

cost me RM90 (abt 30USD) per wheel inclusive of re-spraying the candy red on the lips.

im in malaysia though...hence the "RM" price tag
