p5 rim scratched!!!

[enigM@]

As said.. my baby got scratched.

I parked at a zone area WITH a visitors parking permit. Had to pay $55 for the boot to come off (but they told me $50) AND i have to pay for a $35 for a tickets.

But what i'm really pissed at is that whoever booted me SCRATCHED my front driver's side rim. It's horrible. It's gonna cost more to get a replacement rim than to pay off the ticket fees.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!

well, does anyone know if sumone is selling a 2003 unpolished p5 rim?

i'm sure there's some legal recourse for you to recoup the cost of repairs.... especially if you were parked there legally in the first place. just depends on whether you want to spend the time and effort chasing people down.

or i guess you could use this as an excuse to get new rims...

If you can hold a few weeks/month I will sell my rims...

i have a set of 4 with stock tires =0. sorry, i dont really want to sell individually.

If it's the same rim that I have, then I'm looking for one too! I scratched mine a lil and hate the fact that it's messed up. Hey matttrix, if we get 2 other people, we can buy all 4 individually... alexlitov, how much???

Hmm.. I have 1 or 2 messed up from curbs in a tight parking garage.. I may be interested in the stock ones also.. price??

i have stock 02 unpolished i will sell, i also have some chrome elites with c/f look centercaps im trying to sell

 

[Dimitrios]

I'd want one but mainly for a full size spare......does that make 4 of us?

 

[dmaownsyou]

you guys pm me with a reasonable price and ill find out how much shipping would be, also note they do come with tires that only have 700 miles on them. also just to make sure you are talking about the stock 16x6.5 rims right? anyway i could take pictures if you want them.

 

[enigM@]

i need the 2003 unpolished one.

well i actually need 2

time for powder coating???

 

[Snacks McGee]

Yeah...I scratched my rims this weekend on a road trip to San Francisco. I had to do something called "parallel park". WTF is that? I haven't done that since I was 16! Ah well....I messed up my chrome rims in the process....needless to say I wasn't happy. :mad:

time for powder coating???

is that a good option?

i was thinking of powder coating them a different color b4, but i didn't know they can cover scratches.

 

[dmaownsyou]

I know powder coating for regular protege rims works really nice, but I don't about polished rims.
but each rim will cost ~$50 to powder coat them.
