Wheel Damage

[Jamie-innes]

Putting air in my tyres this morning and noticed some chipped paint on the rear passenger side wheel they've not long been refurbed and as far as i know ive not kerbed them :? Anyone got ideas of how this could happen? I'm thinking it could be the 20mm rear spacers and a big stone, either that I'm deaf ignore the dirt

Stone chip for sure. Annoying when you have just had them done but fairly unavoidable unfortunately

The corrosion makes me suspect the damage was done more than recently.

looks like a stone chip, you can get a smart repair done to the wheel without refurbishing the whole thing

Looks like a sniper was going for your tyres and missed. Possibly a lucky escape.

Looks like it has been there a little while. All part of the fun of owning and driving a car with Alloy wheels.

sounds like a good idea, might look into that

ye could be right, they were fine when i fitted them 2 months ago think i just need to accept the fact they'll need repair and be thankful its only the one
