No. Warranty doesn't cover user error. Only mechanical defects.

Insurance will cover it, though.

Minus the deductuble.

You might want to read about what a warranty is for... it's not coverage on what YOU do...that's insurance.

probably best to just buy a new rim or find a wheel repair shop.

I think a couple people are selling them on the boards. Might want to check there first for a cheaper price.

hehhe, well if im parallel parking on the left side of the street, which is common in NYC, i look at the curb, and if im on the right side, i judge how close i am to the cars and have a passanger check it out.


anyways I00I009II, check out the blackmarket, they often have stock rims for sale, im sure you could find a good deal.

I dont think this will be covered by your warranty.

Scratched rims suck. I'd just hang on to it through the winter, get used to parallel parking your car, save up some $$$ and then either get it replaced or get a whole new set of rims in the spring.

Just call your local dealer and see if they have a vendor that they use for wheel repairs. Most Acura dealers have one so that they can not only get customer cars fixed, but also to repair wheels in order to certify cars. Wheel damage will actually prevent an Acura from being a CPO (according to the 150-point inspection list). That's attention to detail.

No use for you to change the rims to new OEM or aftermarket: You need to learn driving first!

I10O0I1, you need more driving/parking experience. Otherwise you are just wasting money by getting new OEM or aftermarket rims.
