Default X-pack wheel scratch

I have a 1" scratch/gouge on the flat part of the wheel beneath where the tire and wheel meet. Can the wheel be repaired or does it have to be replaced? The wheel is not bent or broken. The issue is purely cosmetic.

Remember the wheel is from the x-pack.

Thanks!

You probably should post a picture if you have one. It would be easier to say what can be done with a pic.

Based on what you said it looks like the wheel can be repaired if you said the damage was minimal and simply cosmetic. Posting a picture of the "damage" would help a lot as to the exact extent of the damage. Good luck.

sounds like curb rash. If you find a wheel repair shop they should be able to make it good as new.

I would like to know too. I have x-package wheels on my IS and each wheel has a bit of curb rash. I will post pictures when I can.
