Alloy wheel damage

[Malibu25]

I hit a curb and damaged one of my wheels on my malibu just want your guys opinion is this damage worth getting fixed.

[Jason464]

I would if it is a reasonable amount of money, otherwise no.

Mine look worse than that, I'm not spending money to fix or replace them.

steve AZ, that not bad at all your saying then, I was thinking the same thing new rim would cost around $163.00

Man u have had the worst luck with your rim/tires.

Massive curb rash on the lip of my rim:


Tire that was on this rim was missing a chunk from the sidewall, too.

I went with 225/55/17 tires which stick out past the rims a bit, hopefully protecting the rims in the future...


eBay has wheels for around $130 shipped... http://www.ebay.com/itm/251063837092...84.m1423.l2649

If it were me, I would buy some clear coat touch up, touch up the bare spots, maybe even use some really fine sandpaper/polishing cloth after you do that, and call it good. Main thing is seal up the crack so the aluminum doesn't oxidize and corrode worse.

Jason464, It is not a reasonable amount of money to have it fixed they want around $200.00. I can get new rim for $130.00 on ebay no point getting it fixed will just keep it way it is.
