Super easy fix thats not even that bad, some black touchup paint to fix it and or if you want to you can sand it down smooth and then touch it up with some paint.

It's hard to find a black that is a match, I tried a few different ones and they are all much darker. The black of these wheels is a few shades lighter than most blacks.

Burn the car, it's ruined.

Maybe google local wheel repair in your area. You could then have all four repainted if they say they can't match the color.

Check this out, followed these steps on my old car, worked very well. Hardest part is finding paint that will match.

If you don't want to touch it up and live with it, a reputable wheel repair company can fix that with their eyes closed and shouldn't have any issues matching paint. It's amazing the type of damage they can fix for a fraction of the cost of the ridiculously priced OEM wheels...

I actually just scratched mine today too. My first thought was.. FAAAACCCKKKKKK! Then I just thought about using a black sharpie.

I curbed mine too. Couldn't for the life of me figure out how as I only drive back and forth to work with zero parallel parking. Figured out the car wash I occasionally get rinsed off at was the culprit. They have some random rails that narrow as you drive in. Before anyone says anything, I always hand wash and maintain the sealant I have on the car. I simply stop at this touchless wash to get the pollen rinsed off for convenience.

dont do the sharpie bro use, go to autozone or pepboys or something like that and get a black touchup paint it will last better that way.

Thanks everyone for the options! I will do something, and get these nasty scratches covered up. They will be my winter wheels eventually anyways so not SUPER worried.

The poor guy you bought the car from would probably be heartbroken if he knew what you did :D

hahaha yeah that poor guy! I couldn't imagine! I think he will feel much better when he sees the new Summer Wheel set up that will hopefully be going on in the somewhat near future. This damn money thing...... :frusty:
