Any solutions for refreshed X curb rash yet?

[JER85]

Wife was driving the car and got some gnarly curb rash on our brand new X LR with 20” wheels. I’m wondering if anyone knows where I can get the color? Or if one of those curb rash repair kits are available for the refreshed X yet. I was quoted $165 from one of the wheel repair places but I rather save that for later if/when it gets really bad

OUch, sorry to hear about that. A fear of mine as well when the wifey takes the car out.

Try YouTube videos. There are rash guard kits & DIY solutions. I use AlloyGator, but there are others.

Definitely picking up one of these going forward... but unfortunately the one wheel is too late for this to save it.... I was looking for a DIY wheel painting solution to fix the rash that already happened.

There are plenty of videos of folks smoothing/filing the wheel & painting.

Me too. I knew when I first saw these black wheels that this would happen and be more visible than on my silver rims on my '16 X.
