Advise for Rim needing Repair/Replaced. Any For Sale?

ktbaker · 10-19-2012, 11:24 AM

I would like advise from anyone who has had a rim repaired or replaced due to severe scratching. I know the paint code for the car is KAV but if the whole rim is repainted will it be a close enough match to not be noticable? Any advise will be appreciated. Also if any one has a rear rim in mint or near mint that you want to sell PM me. Thanks

Powder coat all of them? Good time to change color too if you like.

Bandit,

Dealer "f'd" the rim already once when replacing a bad tire a year ago or so. They did an "in house repair/repaint". Had to put new rubber on this week and the repair/repaint flaked off when removing lug nuts, they also scratched up the "painted rim around the outside. Dealer is willing to reimburse me the cost of finding or repairing the damaged wheel since his in house crew seem incapable of doing it right. They say they can't find a replacement in the "dealer" network.

I went to get a quote on fixing mine (curb rash)

Although one was really bad, they said they would need to do 2 minimum wheels so that there is a better match to the rest of the wheels. Their color pallet was close but not exact

Also it was considered a 2 step or something along those lines so while most wheels cost 140 to fix, the 40th colour was a minimum of 230-240 per wheel (in my area)

I actually ended up selling all 4 a month back

Just something you should note the colour of the car is KAV however the rims are a different colour. If you want to order a new one just contact Jomar at FBnissan a vendor on here they sell new rims for both 40ths and nismo

, only other option other than buying a new one is powder coating. A good Powdercoater can usually do any color you desire to pretty much perfection.

Does anyone know if Nissan had released an official color code for the wheels or is it still a "secret"
