I had a deep scratch and gouge on one of my wheels. I lightly sanded with 100 grit, filled the deep gouge and scratches with JB Weld MarineWeld two-part epoxy. Waited an hour, sanded with 220 grit, cleaned and sprayed with RustOleum paint that matches perfectly. I did repairs on two wheels in 2hrs total. They look perfect. Total cost: $16.
I used a sharpie on my rental Tesla I've had a Tesla about 5 times now hit a curb yesterday and a bit of rim scraped off used a sharpie on passenger side don't think they looked at it when I returned it
I've never scratched my wheels until the Tesla. Thankfully I had gotten plastic covers on day one, so invest the hundred bucks if you care or while you get used to the car. The size, protruding, and color really doesn't help. After the scrape I checked other Teslas and every single one had scrapes, including cars with dealer plates, and most had lots of scrapes all over.

A large black permanent magic marker from Amazon will help in a lot of situations.
Not a bad idea

I feel the same way sick an easy thing to do
Would like to use an airbrush instead. Is the paint you use an enamel or acrylic paint?
It’s oil based paint.
Hey man I was wondering if you still had any leftover pats from the m3 lol
Maybe! Front lip and roof rack.
Tommy! This is Kenia’s husband, JP! Great video I didn’t know you had a YT channel!
Hope I was able to help! :)
I’ll get wife to fix mine as I don’t know how to use nail polish😅
Haha that’s a good plan
what size tires did go with to get rid of that crazy stretch?
295 rear and 275 front
For model 3, I went 275/30r20 squared. Unfortunately I still managed to curb them
"Good from far but far from good"
Yes!!!
Have you seen the mag bak rim case? Seems interesting.
I wasn’t crazy about it. Lots of plastic
Hurt my soul to watch the curb hits at the end...
I threw the wheel out
@@TommyLGarage oh I know… it’s that one you replaced in the video. But it just reminds me of the sound when I hit the curb and my stomach drops, haha.
$350 is crazy. I called mobile wheels guy, came straight to my house did it for $100. Looks indistinguishable. SoFL.
Did it require refinishing the whole wheel?
can you send me their contact? what state do they operate in?

Looks nice, but good luck with balancing the wheel afterwards...
