Wheel rash repair
Any product recommendations, or just knuckle under and take it to a professional?
Thx in advance. |
Taking it to a professional is much easier.

Do yourself and your car a favor....take it to a body shop and have them take care of it. The dealer Had my wheels done by some “wheel repair company” when I bought my car. They looked nice but within a year the paint flaked off. Then I had a body shop do them and 4.5yrs later they are still holding up. Cost about $120/wheel.

I begun to do my own, and is a major pain the ass lol. Here are some pictures

I repaired some b7 Titanium wheels a couple years ago. Used permatex liquid metal filler, sanded it primed it and painted the problem areas. I should have done the whole wheel but was lazy... Much stronger than the bondo most people use.
Best bet is professional job if you have the budget. https://www.permatex.com/products/ad...-metal-filler/ I can't seem to find the images of before and after. |

2 Wicky I did my wheels using these Chris Fix videos. I get great comments on them at AUDI club meets and so far, they're holding up as well as ones I had refurbed and powder coated by profis @ $140 per.. It is a lot of work to get good results though.Did them over the winter while my summers were off te car. |
I use an app like Yelp to find a wheel repair guy near me. Most major metro areas have one or two around to choose from.
