I would ask around and see if they have worked on Lexus wheels in the past or not.

I know there is a wheel repair guy that does contract work for Lexus Serramonte that does really good work.
I've seen a F-Sport wheel he's repaired before and could tell where the damage was at all. Color was spot on as well.
I was going to say Lexus of Serramonte as I had 2 of my rims fixed there recently. Had no idea they subbed it out. Whoever it was did a heck of a job! Looked brand new when I got the car back. They charged $150 per rim if I'm not mistaken

Same thing happened to our F sport rims. Called the dealer and they told me there is a wheel guy that comes every Tues. Dropped the car off in the A.M. and picked it up in the P.M. and the wheel looked like new. The man was good, and the bill was only $78.00. The damage on our wheel looked just like yours. Good Luck!

I just curbed my front right wheel and now I get a squeaking from my front t break when they are applied. Could that be the breaks making the squeak, bearings, or something else?

Maybe is it just out of alignment a bit or are the breaks probably f'd a little?

BTW, the squeaking occurs only slightly once per wheel rotation and only when I apply the breaks. It doesn't occur constantly.

You'd have to hit the rim pretty hard for any brake components damaged..I dont really know

I had my rim repaired by Kris from Curbside Wheel Repair and I believe he did a great job!





The damage is right around the 12 o'clock on these 2 pics. You cant tell the rim waa repaired unless you were looking for it

I've got a front F-sport rim that's been curbed and trying to find one undamaged used one is nearly nonexistent. The Lexus stealership wants $799 for a brand new one. If I can't find a used one I'm going have to bribe a Lexus employee for their discount or go totally aftermarket.
