Here are some pictures of my unfortunate incident today.
I’m currently searching for alternatives. Any advice will be appreciated.

Did the same thing. That’s why I immediately switched to the 18” wheels in the Pre Run Package from JSport. Fortunately I purchased/got scammed into the tire and wheel coverage when I bought the PP that got me out of the donut while I waited for the new toys.

Out of the donut? Clarify.

Out of the donut? Clarify.

Got me a new wheel and tire replacement so I didn’t have to drive around with the spare anymore. Then I ordered a whole new set anyway.

Sent you a message. Check under “Conversations” in your profile.. I think.

I think my pride hurts more when my production crew see me take out the curb or the post effect. Counting down the time to get some new wheels with the rim edge guards - and new rims!

Rim edge guards? Help me. Never heard of them.

Looks painful. Yeoutch! But I'm surprised you didn't have an air leak after that incident.

Air leak? Damn right I did! Like flat in two seconds! LOL! Hopefully get a new tire install tomorrow.

Anyone come across the correct color paint for these black wheels??

I did extensive research with American Honda about the paint color for the gray painted wheels on our Touring. They had no answer and told me to contact my dealer's service department. Might want to go that direction.

Someone here suggested and I ordered from Amazon, a black touch up paint marker style pen. I have a one inch white spot showing on my driver side mirror. I know I've not hit anything, maybe its' a rock chip. I still have not touched it up, will do soon. But I wonder if that Honda black pen/marker would work on y'alls black rims? I have the grey rims on my Obs Blue Touring. Of course, just a thick, felt tipped, black sharpie should do well on those wheels, I'd guess.

For my wheels on the first hit - I got a bottle of black metallic paint for metal at a hobby store. My rims are so trashed now, it doesn't phase me so much. I am just waiting to replace the wheels and tires.
