There are business that can repair rims. A Google search in your area might be worthwhile, followed by a phone call.

thats true...it’s gnarly though and repairs are never as good as new.

That’s an idea too. There are some aftermarket options I see for like $265 but I’d prefer oem.

dont think that would have helped in this case, moving forward, a little bit of snow still piled around the curbs, only like a 3-4” curb, not a full step up to a sidewalk. Dark side street. Just a bad situation. I felt it climb up and I knew it was bad news as it came right off and crunched.

Getting warmer. There may be "takeoffs" at the dealership, or just monitor your local Kijiji (or whatever you guys call it). Sooner or later some rich kid will swap out his pristine set of OEM Aspec rims for some $2000 a corner spinners.

I saw a set of new aspec shark grey 20 rims go for like $500 about 4 months ago on eBay, this exact situation, must of not been anyone looking for them at the time so someone got a great price

I still think you should try the repair option. My son curbed his 2013 Mustang wheel and had it repaired I could not find the damaged area when he brought it home.

The trickiest part is that they probably haven't dealt a lot with the shark grey colour yet.

Have you asked for a quote? it shouldn't be more than $80 or so. I had my entire rim repaired (it had a lot of curbing) and repainted for $300CAD. No good shop should charge more than $80USD for the damage you have.

Well I think I found the factory part, and let me say the price seems a bit rediculous, but it is a 20 I guess


I checked a few sites and they were all comparable, this was the part listed for the A-Spec

I'd just use some black touchup paint on it. It's only a matter of time before it gets some more curb rash unless you exclusively park in driveways and parking lots.

A good auto body shop should be able to repair and paint your wheel back to LNIB condition without even having to remove the tire for $100 or less. Good luck.

That's about $80-$100 max at a wheel repair specialists. I had a black wheel repaired that looked much worse and that was about how much it cost.

A new wheel would be triple that, easy.
