Front wheel hub scratched!

[Matt]

Okay, I admit that I was careless and brushed against the flower bed, but it made me notice one thing about the two different tire configurations on this car, the Michelin tires have no side protection, and the Goodyear f1 tires have a rubber ring on the side.

Now I can only use this decorative sticker to cover it first, and then I can repair the wheel when I have time.

Very annoying, but thankfully it can probably be refinished!

Yup, not all tires have a rim protector.

Sticker just looks tacky in my opinion. Own and it and show that this thing is being driven! I'd assume the colored sticker would draw more attention to it than the scratch itself.

Yeah, sticker is a no go imho

The rim protector on the goodyears have saved me twice already. Maybe I should keep em instead of getting the Michelins.
