Fixing a kerbed Khan

Has anyone had the unfortunate experience I have had, when the wife comes home, makes you your tea, starts to creep round you, plumps up the cushion, brings you a nice cold drink in and generally be nice, then tell you that they have just kerbed your shiny 18inch Khan RSS, virutally the whole way round the wheel.

Im sure I have read somewhere that Khans cannot be fixed when they are kerbed, anyone else heard this, anyone had a Khan referbed??

Thanks

Err I can't see why they would be different to any other wheel? Could be difficult to match the paint but apart from that all it takes is a bit of rubbing down and possibly a small amount of filler! I wouldn't imagine it will be too taxing..

Yep, thats what I thought, matching the colour would be more taxing than the fixing.

I used to hate it when Jemima did that. So I left her.
