My wife curbed 2 of my wheels as well. I took it to a very reputable shop and the Powdercoating texture and exact color match is not 100%. The oem is painted.

When it comes time to buy tires, you may look at getting a tire that comes with a rim protector. My continentals have them and it will defiantly help prevent this type of damage.

That is a disadvantage of larger rims, the curbs are higher than the sidewall of the tires, but they look good, the tires are quiet and fuel efficient.

My Rebel rims are only 18”, the tires are 33” tall so the sidewall is wide and the rubber is really thick at the bead for protection. They are very good off-road, 10 plies that can handle more weight and will not puncture easily on gravels rough roads.

The disadvantage, they are noisier and not as efficient fuel wise. They are also not good on ice, well I guess the all seasons are also not the very good.

In my case I have the OEM Rebel wheels and a set of winter wheels, I don’t do a lot of off-roading, mostly highway/city so a third set for highway trips would be an option, but a lot of $.

I messed up two of my 20" limited rims (i have only ever hit a curb twice in my life. and of course with the two most expensive vehicles I have owned) and was quoted $135/ea would fix them. Thats the company coming to my house, taking the tire from the truck, unmounting, repair, mounting and install. They said the quote is for if the rims were nearly trashed too.

That’s a great price! I need to find a place like that by me

I scraped a curb with mine shortly after I got it. Did some light sanding and sprayed it with Rustoleum Satin Black spray paint. Can't even tell.

Note: I wanted to cry when I did it because I only had the truck for about 3 months.

plastidip and move on? joking, but that's an expensive throw away over a little curb rash when you can fix it.

Another vote for plastidip. Touch up skills are a must if you have 22's wrapped with rubberbands

Their new hyper dip line is really good!
