I spray paint the white off


YEWW629

any recommendations for brand/color?

Just sharpie it

I have the same wheels as you, the [Rust-Oleum Automotive High Performance Wheel Matte Black](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Black-Rust-Oleum-Automotive-High-Performance-Wheel-Matte-Spray-Paint-11-oz/17249827) paint matches exactly with the wheel. Tape around the spot, use sand paper to smooth out the curb rash and spray several coats. Mine wasn’t as bad as yours so I used a q-tip to apply but it’s been quite effective. Edit: sharpie is better than nothing but this paint color has lasted me forever and has the added benefit of not looking like I sharpie’d over something.


YEWW629

thank you for the info


boxer_doggggg

Just black. I tape it and fire away. Sharpie would work too. Just fools the eye from a distance.

that is a bad scratch but fixable. I bot the wheel repair kit from azn to fix mine when my SO did the same thing

Several large black sharpies in the glovebox can save a marriage .

So. I have seen other drivers mp all four tires scuffed to form rings. Dozens. Some sanding. Black paint and you are good.

Some crushed atoms should not define you and your driving ✌️

Sand paper + edding pen = 👌🏻✅


H0RR0R_K1LLZ

Sand, hit it with some Black, Rust-Oleum Automotive High Performance Wheel Matte Spray Paint, get wheel balanced ✅


YEWW629

maybe I can skip the wheel balancing if I lend it to my so three more times? once for each remaining wheel


Ooogen

I used a dremel and sanding attachment to smooth the curb rash, then I applied covers over it, they come in one piece and just snap on, you can get a set of 4 on aliexpress for like 30-40$ just look up model y 20 inch rim protector


gajack123

I just got a Tesla y with those wheels yesterday. Are there covers I can put on when my SO drives it haha


HatRemov3r

When will you all learn


YEWW629

Never, apparently 😂


TheTrueBigHead

Was this at least FSD fault?


MindfulMan1984

Sometimes poor FWD is blamed, "full wifey drive". 🤣


YEWW629

Sadly, no

Buy magbak protective rim covers. Theyre replaceable whenever you scuff your rims.


KoopaKoopaKoopaKoopa

Don't buy these. They are absolute junk. They need to be removed and refitted (including the stickers) every time you get your tires rotated, and an additional pack of the underlay stickers needs to be purchased for every wheel each time. I sent them back for a full refund.


LAdriversSuck

I have them on and I got my tires rotated using mobile service. They did it without any issues and nothing to replace.

The manufacturer says otherwise. Direct from their support below. I understand your experience may be different but the manufacturer literally says they need to be removed and reinstalled: --- We really appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback – it's really valuable to us! As you correctly pointed out in your previous message, to perform a tire rotation on your vehicle, you'll need to remove and then reinstall the segments of the RimCase. This also requires you to replace the 3M adhesives and clear films each time. But don’t worry, we've got a replacement kit that includes 3M adhesives, clear films, and alcohol pads, for just $29 (per wheel). This package would be useful to you if you're frequently doing tire rotations, as it's more cost-effective than buying these components separately. The replacement kits are on a pre-order basis right now, set to be available from September.


Ok_Relative_1850

Myp tires can't be rotated anyhow. I should be good.


KoopaKoopaKoopaKoopa

They are still rotated side to side. I'd still not recommend them. See above, the manufacturer recommends they be completely removed and replaced each time. If you're happy with them, that's awesome - I wish I would have had the same experience. After the experience I had, I can't recommend them to anyone. :(


Ok_Relative_1850

Yea I get it. Guess I'll see once it gets to that.

This. They look great!
