I did the same thing with a pothole. Though it's not jagged or anything, it's just paint scraped off the rim for about an inch or two.

Red__Zed · 03-16-2011, 10:08 AM

These roads here in Indiana suck right now...or at least in Indy they do.

That does stink, it is a huge sinking feeling when you feel the wheel first contact the curb because at that point, you already know what has happened.

Wait till you start getting paint chips.. the 370z paint quality isn't impressive at all in my opinion, for its price. (Specially if you compare with BMW paint quality).

Gotta' buy ClearBra for delivery day. Simply add it as part of the sales price. Then you can relax and enjoy. Nissan should be embarrassed by this inferior paint on a car of this level. My Altima paint is still perfect after 3 years with no special care or attention.

That sucks. Here in NY the roads are also really bad. The winter left some nice pot holes and there are rocks all over the roads. Had a rock scrape my front bumper and a rock mad a nice 2-3 inch gash on my front right rim of which I don't even know how it happened.

EazyD · 03-16-2011, 03:13 PM

Do I need to get this repaired? It won't rust or anything.. is it bad to just leave it like this?

They are horrendous in CT as well. I refuse to take my car out of the garage until the potholes are fixed...
