A Hyundai I30n caught my eye in a car park. Weird markings on a front wing. I then realised that the rear had a bright red rim protector and the front was missing. I can only assume that the damage that I saw was caused by a flailing rim protector😢 The damage to the wing would cost more than the wheel… I didn’t notice whether the wheel was damaged too.

Well it depends how bad these curb-rashes are and what type of rims.. in this case it did work out Definitely if you want to spare some money.. otherwise in case of two tone, Dymond-cut rims or 2/3 piece rims the process is much more expensive needs CNC rims rectify and that means remove tires, remove valves and the calibration weights from inside the barrel of each rim, then sand-blast, repaint, CNC cut each rim and after that apply clear coat, but is not over because ship all to tire shop to add new valves, put back tires and recalibration..

Love the caption clips at the end 😁
