  • Great solution. I do lots of paining my advice would be to use masking tape on the tire and rim above and below the sanding area.

  • my wife has had her M3 for 10 months and 3 wheels have curb rash. even though on paper the treads of the tires (235/45R18 = 9.25 inch) are similar width of the wheel (18x8.5 inch), the side wall angles in from the rim of the wheel to the tread, which causes the rim of the wheel to stick out further than the side wall. my sportage sx doesn't have curb rash b/c it comes with 235/55R18 tires where the side wall bulges out a bit. and also the factory wheels are an inch more narrow @ 18x7.5 i've heard of some M3 owners going with a wider 245 tire after they wear through the factory tires.

  • Wow! I’m impressed!! I just got my first curb rash on my 22 GT today.. only 20,000 kilometres 😭 It was worth it though.. my dad had to go to the hospital and he comes first.. (he is ok by the way) I’m gonna give this a shot later on in the week.. looks like a great and easy fix! Luckily the part of the wheel that got curbed was silver… the black part never got any damage. It shouldn’t be too hard… it’s machined silver for me so I assume sanding it down and then maybe adding some clear coat may help? Might be easier I don’t need to paint it.
