Kerbed wheel 20" performance grey...

[Robt350c]

As title, kerbed half way round the rim edge, it's the grey colour.

Has anyone had one successfully repaired, as in accurate colour match? Any recommendations for UK repair near Warrington or Manchester?

Does anyone know how much it would be for a new wheel if not possible to repair?

Thanks in advance, gutted!

I've come to the conclusion that this is inevitable (with summers?) - both swmbo and myself have each done a rim so far. As a result, I'll probably touch up during off season (winters/summer swap) and not bother with individual events.

That looks easily repairable, certainly not a new wheel.

Google Alloy Wheel Repairs in your area. One wheel repair will probably cost you £50-£60.

Once you’ve had that done I suggest you take out alloy wheel insurance. It cost me £129 for 3 years cover.

I plan to use North West Alloy Wheel Refurbishment | Alloy Wheels | Prestige Wheels based in Stockport when the inevitable happens. Recommended to me by a friend at work.

Can you share what insurance you bought, that might be interesting...?

Of course, from these guys: Alloy Wheel Insurance for all types & size alloy wheel | Tidyalloys.com

Unfortunately they don’t have a referral scheme!

Just saw this and wanted to say I have used them before to repair the diamond cut alloys on my Mercedes - they did a great job.

Thank you, signed up for the 2 year Gold which covers the Model 3 20" wheels. I will probably use one curb rash repair this later in the year

Prestige wheels mobile repair are coming tomorrow.

They seem to think the wheel colour is sonic carbon? I thought that colour was for the model s wheels and the model 3 performance grey ones are a different colour?

Don't want it spraying with the wrong colour...

Day 2 of ownership & I've done this getting out of a horrendously tight car park.

It’s not massive, but it hurts! Any idea how much this is likely to cost to put right?

Alas, we’ve all been there. A local alloy wheel repair shop will charge you £50-70 to repair that one.

Then I suggest you take out alloy insurance to cover you in the future. Mine cost £129 for three years.

I’m so annoyed with myself! Will get a quote at the weekend from a local company, hopefully they’ll be reasonable.

Does it look like the whee will need to come off? If so, I’ve heard about having to jack it up carefully with special puck’s?

Also, what’s the ‘official’ colour for the M3 rims?

Regarding the alloy insurance, would I need standard or prestige cover for a M3P with the 20inch wheels? Are they diamond cut?

 

[zayn]

they actually require photos of all 4 wheels with identification. So if your wheels are already curbed they won't provide cover.

I will just go down the local repair route for my 20" performance wheels

Smooth it out with emery cloth and touch it up with something close. Doesn't have to be perfect as its not real obvious.

Powder coated, not diamond cut.
