Scratched wheel ... 343M F10 M5
So this just happened today, i was wondering if i have a "do-it yourself" option with some products, or do i need to take it in to see if they can fix it?
Thanks |

I don't think 'they' can do it, let alone yourself. I have a similar scratch and easiest thing to do is to live with it. It's not a toy, it's a car and scratches and hits are bound to happen sooner or later.

buy a set of HRE wheels, P40s , then use the old one as winter tire rims
wait a sec, you are from Australia, so you guys dont even have winter.... try asking tire/rim shop, they probably could fix it for you, in canada it charge about 200 dollers |

Agree! That's how i see it too. It's only when we learn to be relaxed about the ownership that we can truly enjoy the car.

Don't stress too much I bet it doesn't look a bad from regular viewing distance. But if you want it like new it looks like something a wheel repair shop should be able to machine out easily. They can work some magic.
More photos of the car please it looks alpine white? Any thoughts on the new car? |

That's the trouble with machined rims - you can't just repaint like you can with the regular alloys. I've damaged a couple on other cars. One was fixable and the other had to be replaced after a lot of trying. Personally, I hate wheel scratches and can't live with them. I've tried to but I just can't....

if the car was older i'd leave it, but a scratch like that on a brand new car would piss me off as well. Rim repair shop can easily fix that up for 100 bucks
