Speaking of curb rash,

I just got back my wife's SUV ( Porsche) after 54 hours fixing 2 rims.

My RX 350 is at the dealer also with one rim rash needs fixing ( and other issues )

Yes the color is right, and it is a standard color at Toyota, my RX is of that color too.

I found a mobile rim repair on Yelp and he was only needing to work on 2 rims and touched all 4 rims and scuff the others also. Have to do research who you used. The CPO ES was fixed by dealer so it looked good.

Rim damage on OEM wheels

Hello

I'm new here. I just bought a 2021 RX 450h F Sport and haven't had it a week yet. Of course the requirement that I bless it had me hit a curb and mar the passenger front wheel. Any suggestions about OEM wheels?

Thanks

Is it just a curb rash, or did you bend the rim? If it’s just curb rash it can be repaired decently cheapish. If it’s bent it should still be repairable. If it’s cracked it can technically be repaired but I’d recommend looking for a new wheel.

It’s actually very minor. Is it just a matter of bringing to my local body shop?

Then find who is local to your area, text them a pic or two and get a quote. I just had one fixed up that was rashed around the rim of most of one wheel, $150 and done in about an hour. Looks almost good as new. May be a good option to explore.
