    Curb Rash, need one wheel.

    Anyone on the East Coast have a Spare wheel kicking around they would like to sell to help get my 208,000 kilometer Marauder looking great again.

    Please let me know,

    Repairing and re- clearing by a wheel refinisher is never going to look quite as bright and clear as stock again. It will be better than curbed though.

    I would just buy a good used or new OE wheel (I got a new OE wheel off this board for barely more than a used junky one, a year or so ago. It was real OE in the box too.) It is not worth dealing w/ "almost good enough" refinished wheels, to me. Find a used one that looks good and then you know exactly what you are getting.

    Nothing wrong with ebay if that's where you have to get one though, sometimes you can get a good deal on them. But a used wheel with no scratches through the clear (and they are getting very rare since the stock clear is so super delicate and easily damaged) is easily worth $300/each.
