2012 Diamond White C63 Coupe + PP
New to MB & Tire question...
Hi all,
New to the forum and recently moved from Audi to a 2012 Diamond White C63 Coupe + PP and loving it!
I already did some minor damage to my rear left rim and tire Do I need to get the tire repaired? It looks like a small layer got cut.
Also, should the brakes look slightly orange/yellow?
Thanks!

my wife bananas! :D
just looks like curb rash too, which is fine.
easiest way to know if you messed a wheel up is if you are driving 1) your car shakes at certain speeds (could be due to warpage) and 2) have someone outside look as you drive by... any warpage to the wheel will make the wheel look wobbly when it rolls

You can easily polish that rim up too. Make sure you properly bed-in the brakes if they're squeaky. Also, if you use and rotor cleaner, drive gingerly afterward in case it causes a delay in your brakes from engaging because of a layer of film. Some folks I know had some hairy moments on motorcycles when they did that.

I'll monitor it as I have just completed the 1000km running in!
