Hugh Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Any suggestions? I scratched a couple on the curb and only had my Escape for 2 months . I can't find Nickel-Luster anywhere. For repair, do you know if it requires Clearcoat as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ticobird Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Sorry to hear about your curb rash Hugh. I know the "bad" feeling you get when looking or even glancing at it first hand. Depending on how bad it looks you might be able to live with it given enough time and rationalization. Of course this also depends on what personality type you are. Some people just couldn't live with this situation no matter what. For what it's worth a lot of BMW owners fall into the group that it just has to be fixed. Google "BMW wheel curb rash" and you will find many resources to draw upon if you want to repair the wheels yourself. Also know that there are wheel repair shops for curb rash and worse. After a little digging, Dupli-Color Wheel Paint kept coming up which should be a another resource to draw upon. Here is a YouTube link you might want to watch - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4bh8hzwC2TA You might ask your Ford dealer but I don't think Ford repairs wheels. Instead they just replace them. Expensive solution! Using the http://www.fordparts.com/ website I think they cost ~ $600 each. Ouch! Good luck with your solution. Keep us posted with your solution.

blockisle9 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 I'm looking for the same thing. Just touch up paint to cover the scratches. If anyone comes up with a matching collar please post the brand and collar code. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axle17 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 These scratches might be a blessing in disguise. Around my area they have towed Fusions and the Lincoln's by the back wheels out of parking lots breaking the tranny in the process. The cops find the car a few days later on blocks.

jmuratides Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Had the same thing happen to my F-150 after a while the dirt just filled in the scratches and now hardly noticable. I gues if someone wants them that bad they can have the damaged set of rims. Still makes me upset though when nice wheels gets damaged.
