Default Stainless Steel Lip Bite and Few Curb Rashes on my 20" Wheels

Hello Everyone,

my stainless steel lip which is pressed onto the 20" wheel has a slight bite, so the outer edge is pushed in. The wheel is not bent or anything but I have searched everywhere to try and get this repaired and was told that it cannot be done. If the lip is pushed back then it will be denter more and will have to be repainted another color and second solution is to have the lip cut out and a new one put on but not recommended. Not sure what to do :/ I need it it fixed. Any ideas?

thankyou

OK....my buddy runs Donz up in NYC so I'll ask him if they are repairable. I'm not sure if these have the stainless jacket that can be replaced.

Thanks for reaching out to them! I do need a replacement of the one wheel but I tried calling around and couldnt find any, I was told to call back during summer as they might get more in stock but they still may not split a set :/.. oh i heard curb rashes can somewhat be fixed?

thanks for your help

I have the OEM polished chrome twisties and, so far they are pristine. I am so paranoid about a similar fate and hope that day doesn't happen. Looking forward to see a pic of the replacement!
