That's why you spin them at WOT and apply light pressure until you've sanded through the spokes.

No ragrets!

Can you sand it down and apply some touch up paint? That really sucks

My excuse is the long wheelbase fucked with me. I knew the TL like OJ simpson's bloody glove.
When I first got the V, it felt like ladiboi in a XXL Magnum.

I sent two of my Nismo wheels in to get refinished. I curbed one lightly, the other was lightly curbed when I bought it. I couldn't handle it either. Only $50 per wheel to be refinished and recleared.

I slept better after it was done

I love you Majofo...
Yeah bro...I've made that mistake 3 times now...with the work wheels, and my tsw before that...it's always a jutting curb on the right and misjudging how the car will angle as I make a right around it.
I was so mad at myself I didn't even get out to check damage until I got to where I was picking Z up. I held my tears and focused on my smiling kid.

I will sand it smooth and get some touch up for it...
just a car, just a car...JUST A CAR....WOOOOSAHHHHHH

You could do like the drifter kids and put a bandaid sticker over it.

There are wheel shops that can probably repair that for a decent price if you don't want to sand it down and touch up.

Definitely...
really Adam?
I was thinking to ask Brian if he can match it and maybe tape and professionally spray it so it'll be uniform.

There are a few wheel repair shops in my area that fix curbed and bent wheels. I'm sure Brian can do just as good of a job. I'd drive down to him to repaint my bumpers and hood if he was closer. He does great work.

You need to weld on some new metal and shape the parts that were ground down with metal rather than body filler. Really good wheel repair shops can do it.

That sux rocks dude. FWIW I've used metal body filler on wheel lips before with great success. Fill, build up, then take a file to it. to shape it, sand to blend, paint, fin. The tire will have to come off though to shape it.

Honestly, I don't even need to...the powder did a good job of protecting the actual metal so the damage is super smooth.
I'll give Brian the center cap and have him match the paint for the perfect color.

Thanks Joe...
honestly, those are just ones I had laying around in the garage...I'll spray into a cup and use a small artits' brush to apply...
I'll still ask if Brian can match me some legit color touch up for future and also to put it over the color I put on now...it's funny, but it's primer that matches.
