cliner Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 Well today I took a clumsy turn and hit my front tire on the curb and to my displeasure I heard a very nasty grinding sound, so immediatly I pulled over and sure enough I have scraped my rims. If you know what im talking about its like a little streak near the edge of it where its all bumpy looking now ... Now this is REALLY aggrivating me, is there a product I can buy to touch it up a bit or try to hide it, or do I have to buy a new rim. Do you think my dealership would have one?! Its a 98 Ls400 and the rims are stock.
steviej Posted October 11, 2004 Posted October 11, 2004 of course the dealer can get one as well as online lexus parts dealers. But try to save some money. option 1: ebay option 2: if it is the same rim as your spare, swap them. use the scuffed rim as your spare and move the spare to the scuffed postion. If you want the rubber to stay the same, any reputable tire shop can swap the tires on the rims for cheap money. steviej
92Lex Posted October 13, 2004 Posted October 13, 2004 It depends on how bad they are damaged but there are places that restore rims. I'm not sure what to look under but cost wise I was told that it would run between 20-50 dollars per rim to have them looking like new. Im positive you can get your rims restored though.
99lsguy Posted October 14, 2004 Posted October 14, 2004 I think the dealer list price for ONE of our 98-00 OEM rims is.... $500 It will cost you $50-120 to get it "like new refurbished"
