I took my car out earlier today and I noticed some really nasty curb rash on my wheels. It's really looking bad and I want to get them repaired/refinished. Can anyone give me any recommendations on places to go to? I'm in Orange County (near Cal State Fullerton), but I'm open to other parts of SoCal. I'm more concerned about quality and cost. Thanks!

Not sure if anyone would be able to match the F-Sport wheel's paint, but you could try VRWheels, http://www.vrwheels.com/index.php?main_page=contact_us

Agreed, very popular.

Agree 100%. I've used him twice and did a perfect job on three wheels.

I'll check it out. Would you mind telling me how much it was for each wheel? And he was able to get the color to match perfectly? Thanks.

Pick one. Quality repair will cost a lot, and a cheap repair will be low quality.

If your damage is light, and is mostly noticeable because you can see bare metal against the dark finish, then just touch it up yourself. $2 jar of Testors enamel (model car paint) in a gunmetal grey will cover and protect the bare metal, and almost make you forget the scrapes were there. This is what I did for 2 inches of light rash.

If your damage is more severe, or is longer than a few inches along the rim, expect to spend $150-200ish per wheel to do it right.

I can't remember how much exactly. I know it was less than $100, but depends on the amount of damage. He matched the color perfectly. I can't tell anything was done on my OEM Fsport wheels. I had one wheel where the damage was quite extensive along the outside perimeter, about 4-6 inches long and scraped down to the bare metal. Son ground it down smooth, painted it, and applied clear coat. It lookeds good as new.

Also, you can text him a picture of the damage and he'll give you a quote. He also also does the work while you wait, which is quite convenient. I believe he moved from the address listed on Yelp. He's now works out of a business park, in Garden Grove, I believe. If you go, tell him Keith with the black Lexus sent you. Good luck!
