I got two oem 20x11s that I will sell you. 3,000 miles on them. PM me if interested. They are in excellent condition. I am switching wheels, that is why I am selling them.

Worked for me. My rash is not as severe as OP's, and I can live with it.

That's not hard to fix. If you have a dremel you can do wonders. Look up some vids on you tube on how to fix curb rash.
I did My winter set and I can't even tell where I fixed it and that was My very first attempt.

If thee is a next time, try the "wheel specialists" they are in Tempe somewhere and do realy good work.
there is also a place in tucson that does real good work, a hit a curb with his Hot Wheels Camaro and after the repair you can't see where the damage was.

But you could buy one that's "refurb" off eBay ( They look like complete crap from sender BTW), never buy one intending it to be perfect. Be sure it's OEM from GM. But buy one off the web as refurb and get it redone at a local shop. I figured after buying a new wheel, I should have just bought one for $400 - $500 online that's refurbished and had a local shop sandblast and powder coat it. Total spendings of Roughly $500, saving you about $200 - $300.

If you want, I can have my shop reboots this and correctly powder coat it if anyone's interested in it, just add $100 to the price.

Trust me, learn from my mistakes..way easier to do it yourself from a refurbished wheel.

You can fix it by not being a perfectionist...

Why do people treat these cars as if there was only 1,000 of them built? We should congratulate you on driving it like a normal human being. I think perfectionist stress themselves out too much over stuff that does not matter. Slap some damn matching paint and shut up! LOL j/k on the shut up part.

I can see your unwashed Camaro with oxidized paint, door dings, and curb rash driving down the freeway blending in with the thousands of other Camaro's that aren't taken care of.

I used a paint pen I picked up at my local Walmart to 'repair' mine. I'm a little OCD and can still see where I touched it up primarily because I know it's there & where to look, but most other's can't tell.
