Dad curbed 2 rims
So what are my options here? Replacement, fixing them? Can you even fix curb rash?
Maybe he has to buy 2 new wheels, stinks. Anybody sell OEM rims besides the stealer?
I posted this on RS6.com too, not sure which site you all hang out at.
Nice 7 days of ownership and now this.

"I don't know how I did it, I was driving and just barely touched the curb on a turn"
Front rim has a small chip and some rash on the spokes. Rear rim has the white scrape probably 1/4 of the way. I'll get some pics.

Can be fixed.
I had my local Audi dealer fix one of mine. They have a guy who comes around once a week and provides the service for them. Cost was $125, guaranteed. Looks absolutely brand new.

eBay.........AW Classifieds......that's a few places to start.........
also see about getting them fixed.........you've only had your car 7 days and already you're calling the dealer a stealer........unreal...

Ditto. Same experience here. Most dealers have a "wheel guy"
In many cases he'll come in when you come in, repair the wheel right there & you're done. Mine were repaired twice early on, as I got used to the car's wider stance -- easy to do! But also, lucky for me at least, easy to fix.

Repair best option. Had it done to two of mine at dealer - can barely tell
any difference from new. Clairparts.com has the best price for new OEM that I have seen if you want full new replacements.

Did the same thing in February, easy fix at dealer...
I posted pictures then on the forum, and the repair has held up well. You cannot tell where on the wheel it was carried out, now 6 months later. $125 at the dealer, much better than replacing a wheel!<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/rs6/msgs/12109.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/rs6/msgs/12109.phtml</a</li></ul>
