Rim repair

Hey TW,

Took my truck off road last weekend, first time. I have Fuel Warp matte black wheels and I took a small scrape out of one right near the tire maybe an inch long less than a quarter inch wide but right down to the metal.

Any tips for repair I’d be grateful

 

Fill it, sand it and paint it. Or have a pro wheel repair guy do it. Do you plan on taking the truck off road again? If so I would not bother. Scratches and scuffs are part and parcel of taking the truck off road.

 

Keep going off-roading a lot more, that scrape will disappear,

 

I’ll probably go off road a couple times a year far as I can see at this point. Are you saying paint the whole wheel or touch up the spot only?

 

I know….I’m not sure how much I will go off road honestly that was my cherry run. If I did start going more I wouldn’t bother fixing but I just got these so it’s first scratch trauma I’m feeling lol

 

I would look for a wheel repair shop. I have seen some amazing wheel repair work. Only issue is that with aftermarket wheels it becomes a cost issue that the repair may cost half as much as the wheel.

 

Not ready for that I’ll touch up myself and see how much off road I actually do this year and next

 

Thanks ya’ll DYI this weekend I guess

 

Look at some of the 'steelie' threads on here. Some cheap steel rims could be an option. Let those take the beating.

 

an off road wheel set would be ideal I never thought of that as long as the tires are good the rims can be anything.
