Glad I seen this post before. Did this on my right rear wheel, my jdm white 18" Work Emotion CR Kai's. :mad:
This isn't a pic of the damage, just what wheels they are.

Pulled into the Olive Garden driveway and took the first initial turn a little sharp. One of those damn curb islands at the end first row parking spaces. Heard and felt the nice grind sensation, then thought of the worst damage but once I inspected it after parking it wasn't too bad. After initially calming down by walking a block or two and smoking a couple cancer sticks :mad: . I finally walked in after my wife and sat down for dinner. I ate already so I just had coffee. Yeah all I could think about was to get home and start preping this wheel. Plus knowing at 10pm no Kragen auto parts or Autozones where open to buy the materials. Besides I didn't know everything I had to buy, but I remembered I had 150, 220, and some other fine grit wet sanding paper in the garage :rolleyes:. So I'll either order the materials online or go to my local auto body and paint supply store later on this week. I'll post updates. I'll have to contact Work wheels to see what suggestions they have on paint to match the jdm white powder coating.
