Stupid Curbs!
Does anyone know where I can find a touch-up paint that matches the grey Sport rims for a 12+ Impreza?
I went to park in front of my girlfriend's house earlier tonight and tried to get as close as possilbe to the curb because it's a narrow street. For some reason I have a difficult time judging the width of this car and I ended up kissing the curb with my front passenger side rim. I heard the gut-wrenching scrape and ran out to see some nice curb rash on the rim. Needless to say, I'm super pissed at myself and want to fix the blemish as soon as possible. Any help is appreciated.

Dr. Paint chip would be a good place to start. If you can get a paint code they can match it.

Once Discount Tire damaged one of my wheels when installing tires. They sent the wheel off to the repair facility they use and it was refinished and looked good as new. Another option for you, albeit more expensive. |

It's so weird because most use touch less mounting machines.

Do you have discount tire in your area, I have never had issues with them mounting low profile tires. Like someone said before the machine should never touch the face of the rim so it should not matter. Damage is normally caused by stupid techs not bothering to pay attention.

This happened to me too... only disadvantage to the stylish underspoiler option. You have to be careful in parking lots, too, since some of the concrete separators are at just the right height to ruin your day.

With my underspoiler installed now, I'm super careful when parking, it makes me paranoid.
