Induction wheels - curb rash

[Lounanne]

The inevitable happened recently . As shown in the pictures, I hit a red curb pulling into a spot. I cleaned most of it off but am now left with a damaged wheel.

If anyone is curious, the SC estimates the fee to be ~$856 for the wheel only replacement.

I know there are curb rash repair places but I wanted to see what the OEM cost to repair would be and figured it would be helpful for others to have an idea what it would cost to replace an induction wheel.

Take it to a local wheel repair shop. Will be probably $80 and will look brand new. Don't waste your time getting a whole new wheel when this is a very easily fixable thing at a repair shop. A place like this probably does it no problem:

Since there is no bent, only scratches, you can easily fix it yourself. There are tons of video on Youtube.

I wouldn't fix yourself, just take it to a shop and spend, like $80, to get it looking new.

Well, one week later, I'm sure there will be another scratch !!! Better getting fatter tires.

Karma for parking in a fire lane?

You could either just leave it since there's a high probability you'll curb it again or you could just cover it up with some black rim protectors.

Definitely not attempting to fix it myself. There are local curb rash repair places I may consider taking it to. @MatildaModel3 I appreciate the link.

The purpose of the thread was for anyone wondering what Tesla charges for an induction wheel replacement.
