Well... I'm an idiot

I'll save you all from having to look at the picture, as it is very graphic; but I mangled one of my rear wheels on a curb - Guess that's the price I pay for sipping coffee instead of paying attention

Anyway, I'm really only looking for one rear wheel to fit a 2017 base but i'd consider a full set if need be. Would also be interested in a full set of OEM sport or Nismo 19's as well, but only if they are in 10/10 condition. Thanks.

How bad is it? Try taking to a wheel repair shop to see if it can be repaired first.

IPLG37 · 06-02-2017, 06:43 PM

Agreed with Zbrah.

Curtis_J · 06-02-2017, 07:10 PM

There's only one place here that repairs wheels, I'll try and get someone on the line tomorrow. I'm just a perfectionist with the car and I hate knowing that the rim is damaged so a big part of me just wants to buy a new one.

IPLG37 · 06-02-2017, 07:16 PM

I hear ya.
I'm kinda the same.
Good luck getting it fixed either way.
Never makes for a good day.
Just know ur not alone.

And hopefully you'll find something
Even better out of it.!

That's Canadian, so take 30% off If you are thinking US. And anything is negotiable.

I did the same thing last year when my car was just a couple months old.Found a wheel repair shop and it ended up looking new,amazing what they can do.Wasn't cheep,but not as expensive as replacing the wheel.

Again I didn't notice the Canada part.

Curtis_J · 06-03-2017, 01:26 PM

Well I've got some good news today, the only local wheel repair shop says they can easily fix it for under $150 (Canadian $). Going to drop the wheel off this week. Maybe one of the mods can move this to the wheels & tires thread so I can appropriately update with pics of the repair. Speaking of pics, with great embarrassment, I present the before.

Man, that doesn't even look bad ! Looks like it's only cosmetically damaged

Nixin · 06-05-2017, 12:02 PM

$100-$150 is the going rate for wheel repair in Ontario. Get 'er fixed and ride on!
