I believe god hates me??!?!
 

I believe i should have my '10 R3 revoked from me from the rotary gods but i got curb rash w/ 1600miles . . . . . . . please bare with me. I looked over the area and thank god that the R3 rims are like $800 a peice & high quality or else i think i'd have some harsher curb rash but anyways. The curb rash is like a 1/10 of an inch wide not even and its on the lip of rim 1 rim. I've done my fair share of reparing alloy rims but seeing as these are a bit more....expensive i was wondering how i should approach this. What i'd ususally do ----

(keep in mine this is more of a scratch rather than a dented scratched, it just took some paint off but didnt scratch downward into the rim)

--- I'd tape around the area and give a bit of slack on each side of the scratch and clean/sandpaper it with a couple sounds of sanding w/out puddy until its smooth then just like 3-4 paint coats and some scratch filler and clear coat.


Should I take this approach with these rims? I'll be posting pics in about like 30min or so. May the rotary gods be with me.

Heres the pics, there are 3 different locations of the rash.

Lol, buddy its called life. Shit happens, do u even own an rx8?

you're going to have to fill that in before you paint.. unless you dont mind seeing that just covered up with paint

Lol I realised that i typed my process out of order, yea I'm going to put scratch filler then sand pant coat etc. Sound good? Or should I put like bondo puddy or scratch filler?

LOL
Nope ... what's an RX8?

Edit:
BTW gawd hates us all

Ok so how can we help this poor soul out with his rims. :lol2:

Yeah we completely hikacked his thread.

I would just buy new/nicer rims and use the skuffed one for winter or the track

i'd call a wheel repair place and get a quote

I stick my head out the window to park most of the time. Yes I look like a fool. Yes I even do this in the work parking lot. No I do not have any curb rash.

you just rashed your WHEELS. There is no such thing as a RIM on a stock RX-8.
Regardless - you are screwed now as it could be very dangerous to drive the car with damaged wheel. You better go buy new wheels. Get a hold of me offline and I will take your dangerous wheels out of your hands...at No Charge to you ! Just looking out for your safety. And my desire for R3 wheels. Ha

just call those wheel repair shop have them fix it for ya. I have same rash on my wheel when I bought the car, never bothered me. I asked its like $100 bucks to fix.

wrong section?

I might as well be the nazi ;)
