Ok, thanks. Any idea how much it will cost?

have you considered diy sanding?

[Mattjoe]

How do I do it? I'm not really a diy person when it comes to cars. If i can get it fixed cheap enough, i'll just send it in. Sekali do wrongly, rims will look like sh*, then i will be worse off...

i did on my rims and it was quite ok. just buy some sandpaper and lacquer.

[Mattjoe]

Sand paper part i think i can handle, what kind of lacquer did you use?

Hurry tyre along Bt Timah road, near Serene Center.

 

about $20 per rim. depends on condition and finishing of your rim.

Hey Guys,

 

Went a bit fast into the MSCP today and my back tire made contact with the kerb. See the picture below:

 

 

anyone got lobang to get this rim re-sprayed? and how much? just some minor surface scratch so i guess it only need some sanding and spraying. would be great if the shop can lend a spare rim as I have to use the car daily for work. live at amk/yck area so any shop nearby will be great!

Wah bro, you made a long duration contact with the kerb sia. How come when you first made contact you never stop?

I also have some scratches on my rims after hitting the kerb when parking, is it okay to leave it alone and still safe to drive? My back tyre hit the kerb as well after reversing a little too fast

 

Pls advise
