2011 F-Sport factory wheel repair
#16
If you are concerned about getting the color to match perfectly, just paint all 4 wheels if you are that worried. For the price of one wheel, $475, all could easily be painted.

This is one of the reasons I will never get super expensive (fancy) aftermarket wheels. At the end of the day we are still driving a car, and cars get little nicks, dents, scratches, etc. See how much it pains to curb your factory wheels...now multiply that by 10 and that's how much it would suck to curb some 3,000k+ wheels

I talked to a guy at my dealership and he is going to send the pics to the guy they use, who he says is really good. I will keep CL posted..

$350 for the repair and I get a loaner. Not going to complain about that especially in light of the alternative. Appointment for next Tuesday so I will post up pics whenever they are done..

I brought my wife in to see this thread, just to make sure she realizes how important it is to NOT rub the wheels. She gets tired of me tellin' her, "Don't rub the wheels!"

I just bought the F sport 19" for my GS350 and noticed how the lip of the rim is close to the face of the tire. I am afraid to go through an automatic car wash thinking the face of the rim will get scratched. They look like they can be damaged easily. Is their a touchup paint from Lexus for the liquid graphite for the F sport Wheels?

I guess that I am the only wife that doesn't completely trust my husband not to damage my car I am very obsessive about my cars and take very good care of them, I am the car nut in this family
