Hello
I'm not sure if this was asked before. I own a 2014 IS 350 RWD F Sport. Recently somehow I curbed my front wheel. Not much damage, just an eye sore to look at. Can anyone recommend a good wheel repair shop around Chicago area? I don't want to take it to the dealer, as they will charge $$$$$$
Thanks,

Depending on how bad it is, you could always try touching it up yourself. I've found the stuff below to work really well and matches our F-sport wheels perfectly

Phantom Grey Pearl matches our wheels; sorry thought that was selected

Usually the dealer add ons are a total rip off...but in my case I knew my rims were going to be curbed rashed and bent by some act of god or wife so I purchased the wheel protection for 5 years @ $350. At about 3000 miles in...I parked too close to a curb and rashed about half the circumference of the front passenger wheel. It was $250 (covered by insurance) to sand and repaint the wheel. Looks good now! Pretty crazy $$$ when you can buy a slightly used sets of F-Sport wheels and tires for $1000.

I've used this company many times, including on my IS350. Prices depend on the level of damage, but range from $90 - $150 per wheel. I've been totally satisfied every time. The repair quality is so good that the wheel looks brand new.

I would never try to do this myself or overpay by going to a dealer.
