    Well, it took the wife 8 days to curb the LR wheel. With the shadow chrome appearance on the Persona wheels, any ideas or sources on how to repair it? Most of the wheel repair kits out there seem to be more "silver" than the "chrome".

    Or should I just ignore it knowing this is just one of many more surprises to come?

    Thanks in advance.

    Swap the wheel to the other side so you don't see it every time you get in the car. Silver paint made my wheels look better. I figure it's going to happen again. It's a daily driver, not a show car. Stuff happens.

    You are right. I should move it to the right side (some how she curbed the left rear) as odds are more in favor of the right sides getting it next time.
