    Just bought a brand new set with toyo proxes and a week after fitting them noticed that some little prick has gouged the paint from around the locking nuts trying to get them off, not happy! Wondering if it would be expensive to repaint or do it myself and if so what would any gloss black paint be alright?

    Thanks

    do it yourself. You can get paint matched to your wheels. Take it to a place where you can get automotive paint mixed up. A rattle can will cost about £11
    Sand down the scrapes, use high build primer, sand and spray...

    this kinda puts me off buying wheels i mean for my car its like 2/3's the price of the car in wheels and tyres,yea you can use locking nuts but if there that determined theyll just take the car and worry about that later,i mean a saxo isnt that secure ,mind you i suppose they could have them off if they really wanted,its annoying you cant buy nothing without some scum trying to steal it now
