Not sure if this has been asked before, but Is there anyway of fixing up your wheels if they have some rather unattractive scrapage on them? I haven't had it happen yet, but I'm a bit paranoid about my wheels Nervous. If anyone has any advice it would be appreciated!

of course champ, theres plenty of places that can fix rims, if it is gutter rash/buckled etc. basically just a sand back and paint! most places that sell rims can do it! not that much either i think its between $50-$100 a rim depending on condition Smile

hope that helps

cheers jeff

To repair gutter rash in chrome properly is very expensive. First they disassemble the rim (assuming it's 2 piece) then acid bath the existing chrome off the hoop, machine the hoop, re chrome and reassemble. Depulu in Ashmore QLD did a very good job machining my Enkei's if you're interested...

yeh if you did my suggestion your rims would be susceptible to rust as well.
