Default effin curb rash!!!

aiight, ive been having BAD luck with curb rash on my rs 2.0

since my rims have a different finish than stock Tc wheels, i cant buy a rim off sparks.

I think this once place my boss (car dealer) told me to call will charge 100 per rim

Or me and friend will attempt to fix it ourselfs, but i need to know what kind of paint i should use.

The rs 2.0 rims have a "satin" finish, so anyone have any clue what paint will match it? or at least come damn close?

just an option ... powdercoat them dark gray or another color, you can use the curb rash as an excuse to do it

Id rather just keep them the way they are. Ive noticed the wurth silver paint for german cars, but i dunno how much of a differece that would make on my "satin" wheels. If its barely going to be noticable, i couldnt care less, but if its going to stand out, id rathere use something closer. So anyone have input?

I have curb rashes on my wheels too but they are ony noticable way up close. At first I was very worried and wanted to fix them but now I could care less.

Can you get some pics up from an average distance as well as up close?
