Rim Rash
- Thread starter nobbie48
- Start date
+1 for Carcones...or another option is to just keep driving with the rims the way they are. Not pretty...but if it's bound to happen again....waste of $ IMHO...
A new rim is about $600 and Carcones would be 1/4 to 1/3 to restore only to happen again. I'll decide when and if I plan to sell the car.

I had a car that had some finish issues on the wheels.
The dealership sent the wheels to Carcones to get them refinished and they did a really really **** job. Dealer took them back and they came back worse.
Third time they finally did a good job. I wouldn't go back to Carcones.
Most decent brand tires will have a rim protection lip on them to help. It won't stop a good hit but will help prevent the light scrapes. My Sailuns didn't. lol.
They also make the plastic lip things that go around the wheels to prevent rash.

Thanks for the tip. Right now it's one rim, right front, but when the tires get rotated so does the future problem.

Forget about Carcones. Super expensive. Union rim does a fantastic job and costs less.
