Pretty sure that can be fixed. I have far worse on mine and it's reparable.

Thats easily repairable man!
I had some AME shallens that were in way worse of conditions when I put them on my xB. It bothered me to the point of sanding the lips down, cleaning up the rash and had them powder coated.
What I didn't know is if you have a guy that powder coats around you ask him if he can fix curb rash on wheels. Most places do for a reasonable cost, and for that little nick it should be nothing! Good luck I hope this helps

Should be able to fix it.

I don't know how people can ride around with curb rash. Makes wheels look like crap. My wheels are kept flawless.

Dang, I tried finding older pictures of my AME's to show you a before and after. I didn't have any close ups
But, as I stated earlier, it should be a very easy fix!

You can easily fix that.

You need to sand it down and then put some bondo.

O yes that is definitely fixable. Send some pics to local wheel repair shops for an estimate if you don't want to attempt the repair yourself =]

Auuuch!! That must have hurt.
Is that still considered a rash?
I'm sure sombody will fix that.
I will probably ask for a repair quote and also price a new/used rim on ebay. some go for under $300.

Good luck

Rimguard extreme is what you need. They will come to you and fix it between 75-100 bucks easily
