My stock wheels are damaged. They have chips or something like that taken out of the middle.. I'm guessing normal wear and weathered.. It wasn't bad at all but now it's really starting to look bad.. and I was wondering if I should get them fixed or just use that money and put it towards a set of new wheels.. so, what does everyone think? Fix the stock wheels or get new ones? Oh yea, and if I did fix the stock wheels I would probably get them powder coated too..

my wheels are the same, cuz of the stupid curb outside my house....... i dont think they're worthy to be repaired though....... might as well spend it on nicer rims and keep them on the side for winter or something

I had mine black and now silver, it costs very little, lasts a long time, and if you get tired you can always repaint them. Also remember that they are one of the lightest wheels around..with plenty of spares available around $100-200 ea.

Yea, I wouldn't mind fixing them up.. but it just all depends on if I feel like buying new tires and wheels all at the same time.. I guess I could always sell the tires or just keep them..
