Need advice: Replace wheel/plasidip/refurbish???
I had flat a couple of weeks ago and I ended up hitting the curb going about 10 mph when I was slowing down which caused this.
Tire/Wheel warranty cover the flat tire but they won't replace my wheel as it's holding air. They don't replace cosmetic damaged wheels. Gee, I wonder why??? So, I'm trying to figure out what to do next.
Under normal circumstances, I would simply buy a new one and get it over with. But, I just used up my M3 Mod Budget/Slush Fund to buy a BMW Performance Steering Wheel and other goodies. I guess I can sell the steering wheel if I had to and pay for a new My long term plan was to Powder Coat them once I needed new tires. I was going to do Gunmetal as I didn't want matte/gloss Black. Looking for input from the peeps here on what they would do if it was their car.

Wow, that's a TON of damage. replace it
Would not recommend refinishing, takes too long and your car goes down for a couple days while the wheel's off at repair ok solution if you have a 2nd vehicle and a lot of time on your hands to drive to either walnut creek for rite-way wheels or san jose for wheel techniques (would not recommend wheel techniques) consider yourself lucky the wheel is ONLY $550 including M&B |

Plastidip won't help you with that much damage.

That's what I was thinking as well since the damage is so extensive. My co-worker has a can left and said I could try it. At worst, I can simply peel it off if it didn't work. I am waiting for him to give me the can.

Plasti-dip will just make it look worse.
I recommend an entire new wheel, unless you luck out finding someone on the boards just selling one front ZCP. |
