So I was just moving my car to the front of my condo to remove my bumper, install my new grill and new HID fogs. Dude next door has his car parked in in my area and starts reversing so I have to quick adjust my park so he doesnt nail me. In the process I curb my front passenger side wheel, 3/4" gouge in the spoke and a nice 3" in the rim near the sidewall. :mad:

Does anyone know of any repair kits that will cater to a dark wheel? Everything Ive seen is for silver or alloy wheels.

To boot the guy pokes it at me and says, "what did you do to your spoke" as Im checking out the damage...

wow, this is sad, both me and you have similar wheels with similar damage. I curb checked a few weeks ago and got both the driver side wheels. Although they're very small scuffs, not that noticeable until you're up close but still annoying.

My spoke gouge is pretty gnarly, you can see it from a distance. And there was actually dust from the ground metal on my other spokes. The gouge near the sidewall isnt terrible from far away but up close ITS BAD. Kicker is I felt the tire ride up on the curb. This geezer had me so freaked out that I instinctively had to get off the curb, fastest way was forward. If I had reversed, would have been all good.
