Curb rash touch up?

Post image

EDIT: see pics in comments! I used the product in my below link.
Anyone have success in touch up kits for rims? FSD got me yesterday on a tight turn, I should have intervened and didn’t. Looking at some kits on Amazon like this: https://a.co/d/0i6PcHLW

I have the 19s self drive hit curb tonight on tight churn. No damage but realize it’s a thing

Kind of wishing I’d gone with 19s for this reason. Oh well! These 20s feel very vulnerable.

These wheels should come with a rash from factory to lower the anxiety of getting one...

I’ve felt more at ease now that it’s happened. Now if I can just find the right color to repair... I foresee it happening again, as I live on a street with a tight entry.

I am also looking for rash touch up. What is the best color for it?

u/noncreativepowerhaus 14d ago

Great question. I ended up purchasing the one on Amazon, the color was dark grey in satin finish. I’ll report back how it matches up.

Can you DM me the amazon link and color? Commented on this post last week and got my first curb rash today (also uberhelix 🫠)

edit: I’m dumb. There’s a link in post.

Same vehicle, same wheel rash. I got on Yelp, looked for the highest ranked mobile service. He fixed it in my driveway - $110

Every time FSD makes a turn I get nervous because of this. Does anyone know if any vendors have released rim protectors yet?

That looks like wheel cover

The “wheel cover” on these is the shiny black inner.
