nows the best time to
jeez you guys reply too fast for my sidekick to keep up lmao. I actually like the stock rims that's why I'm so pissed. I rather keep these than get aftermarket rims.

I don't get why so many people curb checks their rims, out of all the cars and custom wheels i have even had i have never curb checked them. Just don't drive so close to the curb, its not hard unless your trying to avoid an accident or sliding on ice that's a different story.

Ive put prob close to a million miles on my cars and with company trucks and and hit one curb in a snow storm. This just looks like driver error. Its going to be a mother to fix that polished rim. You should look when you drive....

it depends on where you live/drive if you live in a city you park next to curbs more often.

its not that I didn't look where I was driving like I said it wasn't a normal curb it was like a self made one with bricks that were low so you can't really judge that well which is what happened with me

I had to fix one of mine due to a wreck and dealer had it done somewhere? Anyway after about 30 miles the clear started to peel and I was like WTF....they would pay to fix it but I would be without a car for 3 days again, they wouldn't pay for the rental. Damn stealership!!!!

why are you guys busting on this kid? He just asked if a shop could fix his rim? WTF? Seems like a decent question.
