Well im mostly wondering these:
1. Best way to get this fixed
2. How much that might cost (wheel is also powdercoated which costed 100$)

Sorry wheels are dirty, on top of this she tried to sharpe it to hide it... LOL

Sorry to read about that update.
Your mother should be ashamed for trying to ink it with a Sharpie and thinking that everything would be fine.

Yeah, what was she thinking? At best, she thought the Sharpie would be adequate repair or touch up. At worse, she also thought that it would conceal the damage from you.

I paid almost$150 to repair a curb rash, which looks worse than yours, a small chunk of the wheel was missing. It happened when I swerved to avoid a woman driving over the center line inthe parking lot at my old firm and nicked a curb right after I entered the parking lot. The result was perfect, you cannot tell the repaired wheel from the other three.

Any reputable wheel shop should be able to fix it so it looks as good as new. I had one fixed that looked similar for around $80. Good luck.


Cheers!

Sorry to hear about the curb rash, but look at the pain you put her through way back when [8D]

I see you have 94 weight tires, how do they ride (compared to 91's)? tia.

thanks for the replies!


az- I haven't been on 91's but I can say the 94s have a pretty damn good ride, I get compliments of how smooth the ride is in my car and I have s-line suspension too
