How to repair Tesla curb damage on alloy wheels yourself
Join me as I will try to repair my curbed new AEZ wheel on my Tesla. I just had these black AEZ rims for only 1 week and I managed to already scratch one of them badly. Am I that incompetent and is my only hope a subscription on Tesla Autopilot for automatic parking assist? Is the only solution sending my wheels to a repair shop for a hefty 250 Euro restoration? Or can I fix it myself almost perfect and nearly invisible for only 20 Euro using only cheap Amazon products? Wish me good luck and hopefully I won’t make my black AEZ Toronto Black wheel damage even worse!
Here are links to the products featured in my attempt:
- KONGMING Velcro Sandpaper & Adapter (Amazon)
- Aluminium filler (Amazon)
- Licargo Paint Glossy Black (Amazon)
Why is it expensive to repair curb damage on alloy wheels?
Fixing curb damage on alloy wheels is expensive because it requires specialized repair methods, skilled labor, and sometimes refinishing the entire wheel to restore both its strength and appearance. The alloy material, severity of damage, and professional standards all drive up costs. Curb damage repair is expensive because it’s not just a cosmetic fix—it’s a technical process that restores both safety and aesthetics, requiring specialized tools, materials, and expertise. That’s why it’s recommended to fix it yourself if you can like I demonstrated in my video.
