    Exclamation Curbed my wheel - need a front Mimas rim

    I screwed myself today and curbed my passenger side front wheel going into a friends driveway. I have the gloss black Mimas rims.

    Anyone selling a Mimas gloss black front wheel? PM me please.

    Anyone know where to buy one for a decent price, PM me please also. There's one on ebay but it has a chip (still better than what I did).

    Thanks,

    MBG

    And I was going maybe 5 mph when I did all this damage.



    Nobody to blame, just me.

    Definitely repairable. Bring it to a good wheel refurbisher - I bet they can make it look as good as new!!!

    Thanks guys. I'm going to call a few places tomorrow and see if they do repairs like this. This wheel is interesting in that it's not black paint or powder coat. It's like a black plastic over black paint. Not sure how that complicates matters. In the meantime, I still need a wheel while this one is out being repaired.

    No worries... it looks worse than it is. That can be repaired. Find a reputable refinisher in your area and BOOM, you're back in business. Happens to the best of us.
