    What wheels? Stockers? Nice expensive wheels? I've scratched my stocks before, there's a write-up on A4mods on how to repair them. I consider myself no professional when it comes to fixing wheels, but I didn't think it turned out too bad for my first time!

    Yeah I repaired my sport wheels. Just an edit on what A4mods does.. they recommend any old putty, can't remember what one exactly.. but I used a metal glaze from Evercoat instead. Do this, its works 100 times better than whatever they used and is specifically designed to be used with on metal wheels

    Any wheel repair shop will be able to work on a curbed wheel no problem.
