I've gotten damage just from crap on the road. Never hit a curb, yet I have chips, scratches, etc on the wheels. Ohio roads SUCK!!

If you buy Ronjon Inspyres ($250 each), they thrown in the wheels for free

Tire prices depend on what you're looking for, I drive on cheap Kumho Ecsta Supra 712, check on www.tirerack.com to see how much they cost now. Usually tires our size (225/40-18 or 235/40-18) cost between $90 and $200+.

Where I learned how to fix tire rash:

So far the repair is holding up. Simple and worth the time. But, I don't recommend running into curbs to practice your repair skills.

I cried at my first rim scratch, but then as they grow, it gets easier to take. I didn't even flinch when I saw my first shopping cart dent in my door on my 2001 CLS.

if you want to get them repaired, ask your bodyshop where they send rims that are damaged, your probably looking at anywhere from $50-$100 to repair the rim...

If there's a Wheels America location in your city they do a great job for $109 per wheel.

those are the TL rims right? i'm guessing many people had that happen to them since the rim spokes protrude out too much
