Damaged MS Racing Hart rims

[MSPDetroit]

Yeah dude, i know how u feel, i curbed mine the other day, boy was i pissed, i was parallel parking and i barely nudged the curb but enough to partly slash the tire as well as scraping the edge of the rim, i'm gonna try and smooth it out w/ a dremel drill.

I had some damage on mine and had then powder coated. I cost me 80 bucks for the powder coating and 40 for mounting and dismunting of the tires. Much cheaper than a new one and the powder cleans up so much easier than the factory paint. They have a new anti-graffiti clear. That stuff is awesome, you can paintover it or mark on it with a permanant marker and it just whipes off.

They have a ton of colors now and you can get pretty close to the same color, but yeah not exact. I have an MP3 so mine were a little different color than yours, but I had mine done in the silver matte color and they look pretty close.

I meant powdercoat them a different color, like black or gold. Anything with color in it would be hard to do on the Hypersilver though.

Someone asked earlier in the thread - A MSP wheel/tire combo with 6kmiles on the tire weight about 42 pounds as weighed on my professionally calibrated six-dollar Ikea bathroom scale (hey - close enough).

You can check TireRack.com for the tire weight and subtract it for the wheel weight. There are definitely lighter wheels available, again TireRack.com has 'em and has weights listed (Kosei 17" for 16.5lb each, various Kazaras at ~ 18.1lb, BBS at 18.5lb, etc.).

Be sure to at least sand down and seal that area with clear to prevent the aluminum oxidizing underneath the finish and and flaking it off around the scrape. Getting it fixed may not be a big deal, there are wheel repair firms out there (check the back of Car&Driver, Road&Track, or internet). Don't know about color matching though.

Good luck - sorry to hear about the scrape.

Thank you to UnwrittenLaw for that link. That is perfect! I just got the MP3 Racing Harts and after 1 Friggin' day....I hit a curb and took a chunk out of one of 'em. I never do s#%^& like that either and of course it happens. God just doesnt want me to have nice rims a I guess. Thank you.
