Default Managed to curb my wheel



Very annoying. Curbed it coming into my new apartment's ridiculously narrow lane. Local dealers have quoted me CAD$250 + tax and a day or two's work. Is that in keeping with what I should expect?

Trying to figure out if it's bothering me enough to fix....

Fix it yourself. Sand down the localized area and polish the finish to match. It won't be perfectly straight but no one will notice.

+1. Doesn't look too bad, think that can be a DIY fix

The price doesn't seem excisive to get back to factory finish.

I curbed a wheel on a Mustang (which I sold) and was quoted $200US.

Frankly, I'd leave it alone. If you're not experienced in a DIY of this sort, it might become a pink cat ring. (The Cat in the Hat Comes Back)

Hope it doesn't happen but if you curb the same wheel again, its time to take in and have it done professionally.
