Curb rash on my gold BBS??

STI-LOS · 01-25-2008, 11:48 PM

I recently got a 06 STI the car is immaculate only thing is one of the Gold BBS has curb rash along the lip of the rim, it bothers me big time especially cause the other 3 are brand new not a nic on them. I have tried to find a place in NJ that can fix them no luck, yet.. I picked up some Gold BBS touch up paint to see what i can do I havent gotten yet, but I was wondering what you guys think I can do to fix it. Thanks

You can always try and buy one from somebody on the forums..., sometimes you can get 1 wheel from them..., you could prob get it for ~125-150 shipped.

Looks like a good write up, only i wouldn't use red spot putty to fill in scratches like that. It's not meant for that, it only really works well for small pits. I've seen it fail many a times when some lazy body man used it on too large an area.

Thanks for the replies guys.. Well if I cant find a wheel, I will do some work o them I already have the touch up paint.. I mean cause $712 for a new BBS is out of control..

That method on autopia looks really good, I will use that if i ever get curb rash.
