Yup, girlfriend fk'd my rims all up the other day. So now my rash is redicilous. So its either i get a new set of OEM's or pay 80 dollars a rim to get them powerder coated. what do you guys think is the better move?

I had curb rash on two rims repaired by Keystone over the winter and they came out great (far better then my initial amateurish attempt).

Unless you're really looking for a rim change then just have the stocks repaired. As cited above it's a good opportunity to go with a new finish and/or color.

Having said that, my stocks are going on my daughter's Mazda6 in a couple months and my new-to-me RP03's will go on my '8.

how much did just gettin them repaired cost ya, if you don't mind me asking

Around $200 a wheel if memory serves. Not cheap, but they came out like new condition and alot less expensive then OEM new wheels. This was the full reconditioning and not just a patch & paint job. I stayed with my Shinka color since just two, but I could have had another color for same price.

For me to powdercoat my rims its gonna cost me about 70 to 80 a wheel. I will prolly go that route if 200 is gonna be the cost for just one ya know. seems a little high really...

I had really significant curb damage to two wheels so that was a big part of it (last time I loan to a friend!). Plus everything costs more here.

Powdercoat is the way to go, provided the rash is repaired. If not it will really show up.

really? they told me the rash would be taken care of cause of the stripping and coating of the powder.

Depends on the depth of the rash of course.
