Its not that big of a scratch, but it does stand out b/c the aluminum is soo much brighter than the gunmetal......any touch up available?

I know the feeling I did the same to one of my te-37 18's. Bascilaay what I have been told is the the rim needs to be repainted. Some where in the process of repainting the curb damage will become hardly noticible. The price for power coat is usually 100 -120 depending where you go.

 

i just bought some touch up paint.. no biggie to me!

 

Damn........oh well.......I guess its staying as is

 

You might be able to get a mobile touch up guy to fix it for cheap....if not, you can try here as well: www.rim-repair.com They do good work.

 

try and see if the gunmetal of the volks match up with the oem gunmetal. i know that acura has a separate paint code for the oem itr rims and like the earlier and later gen. nsx's. i got a bottle of touch up (i'll have to check the paint code) for my oem itr rims when i curbed them. they're hardly noticable. but if you're :hardcore:, it'd probably be best to have them repainted like everyone else is suggesting.

 

It doesnt match.

 

I'm curious to see this paint code. I've spoken with Acura & Honda customer service & 3 dealers. Nada.

I just had tires put on Saturday, the shop scratched up my wheels pretty bad. They're being refinished at Precision Wheel (branford, ct). The owner of PW told me that no auto manufacturer makes their own wheels, therefore don't have paint codes for them. He usually tries to find something to match, but usually it's a custom job every time.

If you've got the code though, my friend is trying to paint his 94 Accord EX wheels to match mine.

 

This is why I sold my TE's and now roll on rotas

 

damn dude, you drove from oakdale to branford to get your wheels fixed? is precision wheel that good? i'm looking for a place to get one of my ce28n's fixed
