Default Rashed up a Wheel

I curbed my front 2003 Z06 wheel today. I can't friggin believe I did it.....really did a number on it. Does anyone know where I can get an OEM replacement? It is the stock gray.

Thank you in advance.

If you don't want to, or feel you can't repair your curbed wheel, and want to buy a new one, try several of the forum vendors. Bob at House of Wheels comes to mind as possibly having a Z06 wheel.

If all else fails, you can still buy the factory wheels from the dealer.
Check with places like Discount Tire... They usually have a place to repair wheels, and some even have a mobile wheel pair truck.

If you do not get a new one, I would think it would be best to repair your wheel so you know it does not have hidden damage or is possibly bent... I ordered a new wheel from the dealer one time, and even it had a dent inside the barrel that you could see on the other side... The barrel is pretty thin.

This place has reconditioned wheels but they may not be up to your standards.

Thanks all. As always, an education....especially when you screw up. I still can't believe I did it.

I found a place in Pittsburgh that looks like they can do it.....asked for a quote. Maybe it's time to put some chrome units on but I am trying to keep the stock look.

Thanks again - Dhasso
