Clear Coat on 18" SS Wheel Damaged by Midas
 
So I had a nail in my tire and took it to Midas to have it patched. The dumba** working there did this to my wheel:

How can I get this fixed before it peels and gets rusty/corroded and stuff?

Problem one, you went to Midas instead of a tire place.

Problem two, you left without yelling at them to fix it.

Looks like you may have to get a tire shop to resurface it if it bothers you that much.

I'm ghetto so I'm going to suggest touch up paint.

Umm I called and tomorrow the manager will be meeting with me. I didn't notice until I got home. Secondly, the tire shop I went to wouldn't fix it even though it was in the tread pattern and was an easy patch - they wanted to sell me a new tire.

I guess tire shop near you really doesn't want real business lol.

Is it possible there was a wheel weight there before because it looks kinda like corrosion in the pic. Just a thought and good luck getting it repaired.

say. . . is that tire a radial tubeless by chance? lol :) :)

Nope, these wheels don't have any weights on the outside of them. They are balanced on the inner part of the wheel only.

Best idea EVER!! nothing threw off a nice shiney wheel like a big ol' balance weights.
