Default OUCH! Just realized I rashed my rim last week. Options?

There is a minor rash on my stock 17" 5 spoke rim about 1/2 inch big. It's not too deep. Is there any repair kit or anything I can do to fix this or do I simply have to get a new rim one day?

Help!

Default you can take it too a rim repair place like rim wizzard and they can most likely

fix it. You can also attempt to do it yourself, if your good at that kind of stuff. let me find post on do it yourself repair

Default here's the link to self repair...

This would work on stock 17's cause they are painted. Id probably still go to rim wizzard or similar company cause I wouldnt want to mess up If you do this repair, take the wheel off the car, dont leave it on like they did lol. So much more work<ul><li><a href="https://www.audiworld.com/tech/ext43.shtml">rim repair</a></li></ul>

Default I still have my old Sport rims - You could buy 1 from me. However, i have a 02 so they're different

Getting it repaired is probably your cheapest option. Or you can take it as the chance to change out your rims.

Default HMMM just thought that maybe I could swap rims with my spare. Is it the same rim?

It's been awile since I've looked at my spare?

should be, my spare was same as oem 17, but tires are directional, so you might have to swap tires
