Rim scratched on the curb: What drivers need to consider when repairing. If a rim is seriously damaged, it must be replaced.
Smaller problems can be repaired for less than 100 euros - larger blemishes, possibly with additional painting, can cost up to 300 euros. A rim may only be reconditioned once, as the Association of European Wheel Manufacturers (EUWA) also points out. The repair of damaged wheels or rims by heat, welding, plastic deformation, addition or removal of material is strictly prohibited.
