Scraped my Rim :(

I scrapped my front passenger RS rim pretty bad on a banking curb at a drive thru. Never driving this thing through a drive thru again.

Anyone know how much it would cost to get replaced. I tried looking for some. Do dealerships sell them individually? And if they know how much?

Look on e-bay. There are many single used MS 20" wheel listings.

The same happened to me at a drive thru bank. Everyone watch out going through the teller lanes.

Man I can't stand how they're putting these curbs around drive-thrus to trap you in there.

That's one thing I miss about my truck...didn't get trapped anywhere.

Lesson learned. Don't go in a drive thru. Get off your car and order it inside. Sorry :/ but like someone else said, file it and use a little plasti dip.

Ironically enough, I won't use them. I always go inside the bank to avoid those evil, tiny lanes.

As someone else stated the classifieds on this site have a lot of MS 20" for sale. Brand new from dealer I want to say they are in the $300 mark...maybe more. I have a couple small scrapes too. I just use a silver sharpie and color it in. Seems like these rims scratch way to easily.

I bought a brand new 20" ms rear wheel on ebay this past summer for 199 plus s&h. It was from a dealership in texas. Depending on how bad it's damaged a wheel repair company may be able to fix it. I know it sucks! Good luck.

P.S. I've also got a door ding to get fixed. Not sure what's worse, a door ding or a curbed wheel!

Is it that bad! I messed up my rim real bad when I first got my car and I had mine fixed. I called my salesperson and he hooked me up with a guy that fixes rims. I couldn't be happer with the way it turned out.
