MSport Rims
Anyone know the price in Canada of a replacement 19" MSport rim, the wife curbed the front passenger side after only 2.5 weeks and rubbed half of the rim badly. I would rather replace than fix.

What does the dealer say for price, as I doubt any aftermarket suppliers will have the 369M alloy wheels yet?

just talked to the dealer they want $850 for the rim, I don't have the insurance as I've never curbed a rim or had any issues with rims before but the wife on the other hand has a knack for tire damage.

I've had good success with wheel repairs. Usually around $150 per rim. I would give it a try before buying a new rim. You could always sell it after the repair if you're not happy with it. I've used http://www.wheel-tech.com/ in the past and have been happy with their work. Probably doesn't work with the cost of shipping. Good luck. |

Tire replacements don't follow any particular schedule, but are limited to $6K total. Let's just say that I read the policy carefully since I'm intending to let my wife drive my new X3 |

For the amount they quoted for a new one I would definitely get it fixed instead. I have on my 135 and it was done so well you couldn't tell which was fixed.

I don't think this is true either here in the US. Other than cosmetic damage I can't really think of that many situations where someone will damage their wheel. It has happened to me when I was younger when I drove on a flat for about 10-20 miles and ended up damaging the wheel but I doubt most people will do this especially if you own the car and not lease it.

I checked the cost to repair is $250 and will take up to 2 weeks as they have to use a water based paint and it takes much longer to harden before they can apply the clear coat.

Your wife and my wife must be distant relatives She has totaled two rims and three tires on her mini s in the last year. Tire and wheel insurance is a wonderful thing if you live in the land of the pothole.
