Well, i always thought that bad drivers scratch their rims, but it happened to me today.
I was at a mall, and while making a right turn, a stupid designed curb kissed my rear rim, and the whole car shook.
The first thing i did after was pull over and check, and man i almost got a heart attack.
Half of that damn thing is yellow (since that the rim sticks out more that the tire lip).
Half an hour later i was at the dealer ordering a new rim with a new tire.
Totall cost $650.
I'm going to have the scratched one as a spare, but need your assistance with fixing it.
I live in VA and willing to drive to DC or MD to a facility that fix rim scratches.
Please let me know of there is one around.

Don't feel too bad. The infiniti dealer wants $800 for a stock 18" for the G35. Is the A-Spec rim painted? Just curious. I've heard that fixing the G35's rims don't look 100%, because the japanese paint process employed at the factory is prohibited in the US, so the matching process here doesn't match perfectly or something like that.

i can get you the wheel and tire for 450.00 through a acura dealership.. 650 is steep....

I just paid 1400.00 for a complete set of a-spec wheels new with ES100 Yoko tires.

Check out "Wheel Repair" in the phonebook. Should`nt be more than 120.00.

I have already purchased a new one and waiting for it to get here.
My concern now is the scratched one and where to fix it.
I'll try yellow pages and hope that they don't mess up my rims
