All 4 of mine were a little scuffed when I got it. Since I've had it, I rubbed the front passenger side once, and a careless valet really chewed up my passenger rear one. I need to get them repaired ASAP. Bugs the crap out of me. I'd like to hear of any solutions that are available.

Same issue
 
Well I got the same problem but my wheel is on original color. But I actually stretch it. :mad:

Just curbed my 40th front passenger tire. Half way around. So need fix them all now. Super fail, in the rain. The rest of the rims are small 1-2 inch scuffs from a valet and tire shop. I'm going to call around Monday and get some estimates. It's not just scraped its rough and gouged. Seriously, makes me feel like a slob. Everything can be fixed. For a price.

In Louisiana, New Orleans Area, I took my wheels to a local shop (X-A-Dent) for repair. I had a bad gouge on one and a small scratch on the other. This being Louisiana, the cost was very reasonable and the wheels came out looking great. The wheel with the gouge has a very unnoticeable dip where I shaved metal off, but it has been made smooth with exceptional color matching. They didn't even have to take the tires off the rim to make the repairs. I was very pleased and satisfied with the results...

i had the same problem when i bought my 40th, slight rash on the passenger rear wheel.

i went to kragen (o'reily's) and just color matched my wheel with the selection of touch up paints that they had, came down to one color and it worked!

paint code is NG FM 360 (dark shadow grey metalic CX) for a ford, costed about 7 bucks

It matches so well that it really make it difficult to find where the curb rash was. I have to take a finger and feel the edge of the rim to find it! hope this works

before, bottom right corner, the rash was about 3/4 of an inch.
