Angry Wife curbed my center locks

She badly curbed both passenger side front and rear wheels and I didnt say anything

The drivers side wheels are pristine and I cant see these wheels on my car anymore

Does anyone have any black Porsche OEM center lock wheels lying around?

I know I can fix the curb rash on these 2 wheels but I would rather see if anyone has a pair... I need a front and a rear

its a 2012 turbo S - the center locks wheels are black with polished edge - OEM - many thanks

That's how my wife knows she's too close to the curb, the wheels on my cayenne and pan would sicken you. Too bad she can't drive a stick!

Agreed, miracles can be done. You will see the refinish on close examination though. Even a polished wheel like a .1 turbo wheel can be done.

I would think you should be able to get them repaired with out too much trouble. Do you have a picture to show us how bad it is?

I allow my wife to drive my S. However she simply doesn't park it near any curbs. It is possible if you take the extra time to look around.
