Finally happened. Bumped rear wheel on a turn. Fixable?

[Glamisduner]

Well I thought I was a good driver, but I managed to bump my rear wheel on a turn in the fog. Not sure if this can be fixed or I need a new wheel?

Any San Diego shops that can handle this? I'm honestly kind of embarrassed driving around my car right now. I have less than 20k miles on these so any advice is appreciated.

What a terrible mistake to make. Yea, it's pretty bad...

I did the EXACT same thing a few weeks ago. Just replaced the whole wheel. Mine is a Performance so the replacement was $860.

Damn, I guess ill see if I can have the wheel replaced then. Not sure if I can still buy just one or need a whole new set. Set of wheels was around $2,600? Not sure if that is worth getting insurance involved.

That’s fixable.

Had similar curb rash last year. I had it fix for 60.00. It looked just like new. Mine was done by Onsite Wheels in Garden Grove, ca.

If it's OEM then they will replace just one and move the tire over. That's what I did.

You can get it fixed for probably about $200 or just change the wheel. You might want to look into wheel bands in the future to prevent this!

You can get them in the same color as the wheel: Wheel Bands

That’s crazy. You could have had them repaired for no more than $250. I had one repaired and it was done perfectly like new.

Absolutly, you should lift the car and check if the rim is not bent, but I don't think it is the case.

Note: since it's on the rear, you need to put the car in neutral using the towing mode to be able to spin the wheel.
But put some wheel chocks around the other wheels to avoid the car to roll.
Lift the car just enought to be able to spin the wheel to check if the wheel is not bent.​

If the wheel is not bent, you can use some alloy wheel filler, and some touch color to make it like new.
There are many Youtube videos showing how to d it. You even don't need to remove the wheel.

I am not really convinced that those Wheel Bands will be very effective.

I am considering in fact getting some Alloygator Wheel Protection

Happened to me several times. I have a small grinding wheel for the drill to knock off the worst of the rash. Then I touch it up. It takes 5 minutes and unless you look close you never notice.

PS can’t figure out the stray thumb nails.

Yeah those are good too. I’ve got the wheel bands though and they already saved me once!

Yeah those Wheel Band things might reduce a grass stain but do nothing for what the OP did.

Those Alloygators look like serious protection. Odd they picked lime green. Not sure about the seam. I think you’d be better off without the seam cap or any glue. Might be tricky finding a shop to install. I guess you might find a shop to break the bead and then do the rest yourself taking your time.

Ouch! And on some TS-5s. Looks repairable though.

my friend had these they even eventually saturated to come if there wheel and whip around at his paint.

I'll call done shops today because I don't know how to match the paint and they will probably do a better job than I could do with the filler too.

Also you can email Titan 7 and ask them for the paint code. They sent me the code for bronze since mine came with a very minor abrasion.

I just talked to a repair place, he said I can get the paint code if I want but it probably won't match up perfectly and recommends he just matches the paint himself to get it a little closer.

$250 for the one that requires filler and 75 for my other wheel that fell over during a tire rotation.

Well I can still see where the wheel was damaged, but it does look allot better. If you zoom in you can see a line where the repair was made, and it's more rounded and less flat than the rest of the wheel, but it's pretty close I guess.

That looks great !

Small repairs are really easy to do yourself, too.

Before I bought my set of Titan7 T-S5 wheels from Evasive Motorsports, I did ask them if individual wheels were available to purchase in case of bent rims or damage from potholes and they said "Yes". Just info for future reference ......

Was the wheel fixed with a mobile wheel repair company or did you take into a shop to get it fixed ?

The color match in your pic looks very good !
