Im in Trouble

[Waffen06]

Sucks this is my first post but Hi all! Wife upgraded her 2014 sport for a 2021 ST. Love it so far but I had a little accident driving it. I was driving through a Christmas Light display with the family and hit a curb. So I marked up one of the 21" black wheels a little bit and wife is not too happy with me. Only had it 3 weeks opps. Any suggestions on cleaning it up? I can try taking my buffer to it or thinking a touch up pen if I can find something to match. Ill try to get a picture of it when its not 34 out and raining.

there are a couple of sets of 4 for sale in the For Sale forum. Too bad you are in OH or I'd see if you wanted to split them...

The dealer should be able to repair it.

My dealer reworks aluminum wheels with curb rash.

Post up some pics? If it's minor there are some mobile wheel repair companies that can fix it

It didnt really dig into the aluminum I think just the paint. Ill try to get pictures tonight

Based on your description that’s a really easy fix for any wheel repair shop. I’ve had horrible curb rash before (thanks wife) and it was fixed 100% for like $200 and yours sounds much less serious.

Yep, wheel repair folks can easily fix this likely and it'll look a lot better than merely painting.
