Any Suggestions???

Any suggestions on how to repair a chip in the factory 02 SE wheels? Any info will help. It looks to me like a rock hit it and the paint around it chipped off. The chip is kinda deep and about the size of this ---->

Do they just fix the small chip area or do they redo the whole wheel for the $100?

not sure.. but i know they fix bent rims for $100 .. depending on how it is.. you might have to buy a whole new rim.. or just ignore it.. but the way how nissan is expensive on rims.. you might just get some aftermarket ones..

See if you can match the color with some dupli color paint, then a drop of clear over it. That will cover it up nicely and keep the paint from pealing around it.
