of the curb!!!! Yup, the Red Rocket is now a proud member of the Scratched Rim Club. I did it good too, big nasty scratch with yellow paint ground in to make it look worse, and no one to blame but myself, ARGH. I did it pulling out of a parking garage after paying the lady in the booth.

Is this topic 2001?

yep, being a member is a bitch. It originally bothered the hell out of me day and night. Then, you begin to accept it and things turn out just fine.....

...except for that damn scratch on my rims!!!

When are we going to call a spade a spade here? This is horrid engineering by Acura -- NO WAY should a car have its high-dollar rims boned because you go through a car wash, or you get a little too close to the curb when passing through an ATM. NO WAY.

What a horribly stupid design decision. My rims, so far, are OK, but Jesus Christ, let's start barking at Acura for their staggeringly obvious oversight.

What a joke.

 

I am out of town all last week in March in sunny Las Vegas. I am going to take my wheel off and deliver it to the shop for repair (since I cannot find a reasonably price replacement). They say they need a few days with it and I don't have a few days w/o a rim unless I am out of town.

I will post pictures of the repair and price for those who are considering the "repair" rather than "replacement" option.

Spring/Summer is right around the corner and a horrible rim detracts from such a nice ride.

any idea yet what the repair would cost???
unfortunately i'm a member of the club, too. at least i was lucky enuff to scrape the pass side wheel so i don't have to be reminded every day. you've got my sympathy bro!!

 

Kensteele, your rims look chillingly familiar...the scratch looks almost identical to my front-right rim.

Geoff, I see you made your way over to this forum finally...OT over @ Is300.net got too boring, eh? Did you happen to work those guys at Q3A yet?

[b] When I checked last Fall, they quoted $100-$125 and 72 hour turnaround. This was at one of the local wheel shops. They said that after repair, it would like "like new". I decided to wait out the winter and with the big storm in the East this week, it's starting to look like Spring in the Midwest.
