Curbed wheel!

[Lofty]

So it happened. 18 months in. Thought I was doing so well and wasn’t paying attention and curbed it. Any advice on who to take it to for a repair/refurb in the north west uk. Live in Prestbury.

Ask your dealer.

that sucks but are you going to buff it out every single time that happens? I think this may be a mobile service now at least in the states

Good news is that this can be fully repaired…

Like many people on this forum I LOVE my Taycan. This kind of thing is painful but somewhat inevitable.

The extended Porsche tire replacement plan I purchased included, I believe, unlimited free repair for this type of road rash.

As W1NGE said check with your dealer who they use for diamond cut alloy refurbishment. Have it done properly rather than a mobile service. They will completely strip the wheel, repaint, diamond cut and lacquer and it will look like new. I don't have any recommendations in your area but there will be some excellent places around Manchester.

I'm just west of London and I use Bespoke Alloys near Uxbridge, they do about 200 wheels a day for most of the high end brands. They charged me £96 Inc vat last year for a rash similar to yours on my 22" BMW rims.

I have the same wheel and have curbed it way worse than yours.
Easy fix by a mobile alloy repair service, took about an hour and looks indistinguishable from new. Cost about 180USD, so easy and cheap now I consider wheel rash as part of routine service.

Can anyone in South Florida area recommend a service to fix the wheel. I just did the same thing for the first time in 2 years. Uggh.

WheelsOnSite has locations in Florida. I've used them here in Virginia.

That’s such minor damage. Easy fix and should not require stripping the entire wheel.

I have had curb rashes on other cars before. Initially was checking all over Yelp for reputable mobile service in the area but I kept telling myself to wait a bit. Once I slept in it for a few days I got over it and never repaired it.

Prestige Wheels at Stockport have been round a long time and used to do diamond cut repairs for some of the dealers when few people did them.

I have used them in the past with good results.

I have same wheels as you and did something similar (slightly worse) last year.
I just got a mobile repairer to do a fill and spray repair, as it's likely it will happen again on near side wheels.

I will then probably get a diamond cut repair done at some time in the future, as you can only do a limited number of them as they skim the wheel.

The same happened to me. Indeed complete strip, repaint, diamond cut and lacquer. As new. Your £ 96 is cheap. My dealer asked € 399 but split the amount because my right mirror didn’t go in the parking position.
@ Adrian: with this repair it looks as if nothing has happened.
