Default curb rash repairable?

Hey everyone --

I'm shopping for a newer Nismo, and found a nice one...except...it has a small amount of rash on one wheel, maybe a couple inches or so. I'm anal about this kind of thing, although the rest of the car is pristine and low mileage and otherwise would be a good deal. The salesman said they have a "wheel guy" they call upon to fix problems like this. I'd never heard of this, although, I know some manufacturers put a plastic coating on some wheels to protect the alloy and keep it glossy, in which case, any repair would be less-than-satisfactory.

Have you ever heard of a "repair" such as this? Thanks!

Yeah, they can do wheel repairs like this. Depends on how bad it is as to how they fix it. You have any pic's of the damage?

I asked the salesman for a video, but the resolution on his cellphone wasn't good enough to capture it. He said it was "minor" and that they had a guy on call who could do it. I'd never heard of such a thing, but I'm glad you confirmed it. Thanks!

I guess I'm just going to have to make the trip and see it for myself.

I had 4 rims redone for minor rash. Can't even tell that they was damage.

OK...I'll take a look, and take them up on the offer to fix it as part of the potential sale.
