curb rash on stock wheels
 
My right rear has some curb rash on it from the previous owner. It's not bad, but it does annoy me and I'd like to address it. Full new sets of wheels cost a grand plus, and I actually kinda like the OEM 18" wheels on my 2014 base model.

Has anyone taken one of these wheels to a body shop to be stripped and repainted? Guessing by the time I'm done I'll have invested what it costs for another wheel (which I am having a hard time finding - don't want to go the Nissan route and pay $500 for one....)

I've seen plenty of the 5 spoke wheels for sale, but not the ones like my car has. If anyone has a couple, or even one 2014 base wheels, I'd be interested.

Google wheel repair shop in your area. Cost should be approx $50-80 per wheel and usually could be done in a day.

When I bought my Z, the previous owner had some curb rash on the right front wheel. The dealer took care of it and said it was an easy/quick fix, cost $70.
