Carving through the wonderful lanes of Mod Wales I managed to just kerb a front nearside wheel: a narrow road and an oncoming car meant I had to tuck in to the near side.
I'd left a good gap to the stone wall, I thought but there as a low kerb. At 40mph a slight touch has removed the paint from 50% of the rim and scuffed the alloy over about 6".
Wheel off today, then time to start work. Fortunately the Aeromax wheels are finished in a BMW colour, A44 Reflex Silber so are easy to match. I've used a touch up pen before but for this area I'll have to get a rattle can...
Photos to follow, I'll take one to show just how the tyre sidewall sits behind the rim and so protects nothing!!
When done I'll put some tyre black on, but in moderation of course!
