Forgestar Wheel repair question. - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

blake2010ss · 06-16-2013, 01:32 PM

I had the unfortunate experience last night with a curb that extended a little further out than I thought and have a good 4" curb mark on my satin black f14 wheel. My question is, when repairing this... is it necessary to send the wheel back to forgestar to repair and refinish or can a local place do it? I know its not a warranty thing since its not a defect but I just want to wheel to look new again. I had them for only 2 and a half months!

Thanks for any help.

Interested as well. Have a small streak of curb rash in one of mine (as well as a bump/dent in the lip, looks small, but it lets air leak out.).

Any good wheel repair shop should be able to refinish it for you.

Forgestars outsources their powdercoating anyways. So if you send it to Forgestar, they will send it out to some random shop anyways.
