Greetings fellow Stinger owners.

I just purchased a new 2021 GT2 AWD with the All-Season tires and love it ! Unfortunately it now has a little wheel damage. My options are to repair or replace so time for some research. I'm looking for your advice and recommendations for the following:
1. Confirmation that the part number for the front wheel is 52910-j5220, type 4, 8x19.
2. Repair or replace the wheel and recommendations for places to do that in the greater Milwaukee WI area.

The gouge is on the rim of the wheel, is small and should not affect wheel integrity or performance. But it's there and annoys me. Quotes from wheel repair folks are consistent at $125. I'm just not sure how long the repair will last before something (clearcoat, paint, filler) fails and I have to do it again. Plus they'll probably have to grind/sand an area larger than the actual gouge, so it'll be even bigger :(

I've attached a photo of the damage. Obviously the tire gets replaced as the puncture went clear through the curb guard.

What do you think ?

Looks pretty innocuous to me i had the same ,wear it with pride you'll barely notice it and unfortunately the odds of it happening again are high.
 
Only you will notice that, I wouldn't even bother paying someone to fix it. You could have a go at it yourself, quite a few videos on youtube.

I second this.

But if you still can't stand the ding (TBH, not sure I could ignore it either.. :cool: ) the part # does look accurate. If you are able to pop the wheel off, the part number should be stamped on the inside to confirm.

PS.. Congrats on the new Stinger!
