They are having a sale on the Honda Accessories Dark Chrome Alloy wheels at College Hills Honda. Wheels On SaleLooks like I will be getting some new rims on my car, I unfortunately started falling asleep at the wheel from a long day with barely any sleep and got some rim rash. Paying $150 for repair per tire seems too much and might as well get new rims for all 4 as it was something I thought about doing.
Does anyone know any quick fixes to do, since it will be a little bit until I find some good replacements?
I almost curbed my alloy wheel within the 1st week of owning my Insight, too. Somehow only the tire sidewall was scraped a little but no damage to the alloy wheel. It was from driving into this parking lot with a very narrow pathway that had raised cement curbs on both sides. I had a 09 civic that had steel wheels with a silver wheel cover. After curbing them a couple of times and the silver flaking off due to time. I replaced them with the same oem wheel cover for about $30 per tire. The only other car I had with alloy wheels was my 2017 ford fusion which I leased and luckily never curbed. So I have no clue on how you go about to repairing the alloy wheel. A picture might help other members better recommend a solution.It was bound to happen, but I didn't expect so soon. Got a bit of curb rash on the edge of the rim. That edge is the polished alloy, and I believe unpainted. Figure just leave the rash as it was?
On my old Civic rims (which were painted), I had gotten Honda silver touch up paint that was a close match and touched up small and larger spots.
I'm not expecting to make it look better, but hoping to avoid it looking worse. Do I need to worry about corrosion now that the rash is on there? Clear coat it with the Honda touchup? At least it's not scratched on the black portion which I believe is painted and touching that up would require a bit more work to find a color match.
^I'm not sure how bad the damage is but the above article mention it's possible for corrosion.If you curb a wheel hard enough, it can result in more than just cosmetic damage, and that should definitely be fixed. Scraping off paint and clear-coat finishes on a wheel will allow oxidation and can cause pitting and corrosion. https://www.cars.com/articles/how-do-i-repair-a-curbed-wheel-1420684865406/
