Scraped my new 20" rim at the local Chick-A-Filet

[TNLYGT5L]

Hate my local CFA as they force the cars thru a tight lane between cones and a concrete curb. Got too close and heard the hideous scraping sound on my rear rim Grrrr! Called my local dealer and found the name for a good Wheel Doc and he was able to come to my house an repair the rim in about an hour and only $100. Can't hardly tell anything was wrong before and did a great job. Before and after pics. Be careful out there for those nasty curbs just waiting for a nice car to get too close.

Dang sorry man! But the wheel doc did a great job!

You can't beat a good and experienced wheel Doc.

I used to scrape my old rims. And it's not the rims, it's the tires! Once I got Bridgestone Serenity tires, they go over the rims and are just a tad wider. Have never scraped my rims ever since.

DAMN ! Was human sacrifice involved in repairing that wheel?
Impressive work.

What scrape?

Nice work on the repair. Love those wheels! I can only imagine how much that hurt before it was fixed.

If you had wider tires it might not have been as bad. Ask me how I know!!!

Yes I was sick over it only having the car for a couple of weeks. I had resigned to having to replace the rim but was totally amazed at how the repair turned out.

Great idea. Hadn’t thought of doing that.
