I would suggest asking PES and/or Champion Motorsports. The wheels are made for PES by the same manufacturing plant contracted by Champion

If it is anything more than very superficial curb rash, the best advice is to just throw it away and buy a new wheel. Sorry, but the financial savings from a repair (vs. replacement) are simply not worth the risk of catastrophic wheel failure.

Hi prochipharma....I think we chatted a few minutes ago online about this wheel and I directed you to PES.

As it turns out, I do have one of those exact wheels here that I can sell you. It's brand new, in exactly the same color you need. Send me an email or live-chat and we can discuss.
