One of my sports rim (according to workshop rim is still usable) suffered multiple scratches in an earlier accident and I'm claiming 100% from the fellow who ram into me. According to the surveyor, I can either respray all 4 rims ($200+) or they compensate me $150 for 1 rim (because rim too old not in market liao). My sports rim is those stock type one
 . Just want to know if it's better to respray all 4 rims or accept $150 for the rim.

Accept compensation and buy 2nd-hand good condition rims for your ride. Safer.

Yeah $150 only cos for 1 rim nia. $150 can buy stock sports rim meh? I agree rim will get scratch especially when parking near kerb. Upon visual inspection the rim doesn't look warp just scratched.

if want to be sure can just go to any tire shop. ask them to help you see if the rim is warp. they probably charge you 20-30 bucks.
but either way you also will not be getting any replacement right? I heard if rim warp will affect the driving. maybe other experienced bros can help advise. -------------------- ---------------- Life is never fair > correct ---------------- |

That's the market rate but now it's a matter to take $150 or respray all rims but don't take money. -------------------- Disclaimer: The above comments are solely my perspectives.

Upon visual inspection the rim doesn't look warp just scratched. Anyway to tell if it's really ok? $150 cant even get you one piece of stock rim from AD. If you take the money and respray that rim, there are chances of a color mismatch. If you can live with it, just take the $$$ lor. Sometimes the pursuit of perfection will give you more headache IMO. |
