Simple fix: since you dont know if the car wash actually did it, the only thing left to do is call your nearest fix-a-rim store and have them resurface the wheel for you. If its just the perimter it shouldnt cost more than $150. Give it a shot and let us know. Ususally if you come right out of the car wash and your wheel is scratched, the carwash company will do an investigation..probally not that indept and sometimes get your will fixed for you. Good Luck

You clearly have the 18" OEM wheels, as I did. The same thing happened to me a number of times until 3 of the four were trashed. I tried to blame it on my wife but truth be told, the damn wheels are so flush with the outside of the wheel/tire it is almost impossible to NOT scuff them. I remedied the situation by buying the 19"OEMs of a the Sport model design. Solved the problem and they look better.
