Default Wheel chip

Well, my first wheel nick....not a curb scrape.

I don’t remember any hard hits recently.
I never park on the street either.

Strange that the chip is well under the tire lip.

Mainly visible when looking down.

Candidate for touch up? Paint available for the FSport wheels?

Go with touchup paint for that.
Here's a link to repairing curb rash, in the write up there is a link to touch up paint on Amazon that will match the F Sport wheel. http://www.e46mango.com/2019/10/curb...xus-wheel.html

I've never curbed my wheels, but I do have a few similar scrapes that appear to be pothole damage. Figure I'll probably touch them up while the wheels are off the car for winter.

Thanks for that link!

I ordered the three products and will work on it, weather permitting. Thanks so much.
