OEM 20" Painted Wheel Damage
Can't say for sure how it happened, but I think I did it myself today. Was washing the car and putting the pressure nozzle on pressure washer, didn't seat and lock the valve correctly, and it popped off and hit wheel. It really did not hit hard, and I didn't think much of it at first.
Looked down and saw the damage, still not sure if it wasn't already there from the road. Any advice on how to go about getting this fixed, if its repairable? Not sure if anyone in Cleveland does repairs like this. |

That looks like a stone chip. A good wheel doc can fix it in no time or even a spot repair.

Paint on these wheels is crap. A lot like the body GM is using thin less durable coats then they have previously.

The most economical way would be to fix it yourself......JB Weld for filler, sand, buy matching paint, paint damaged areas to blend, wet sand or use polishing compound to blend. The best way, as already suggested is bring it to a wheel shop for a professional repair. But cost will most likely be around $100 or more.
