Default Curb Rash

Is there any hope[&:]? I live in NY (and am willing to drive up to an hour away) to get it fixed. I have it on 2 of my wheels and I refuse to kick out the cash for two new wheels[:'(].

I smacked a curb right after I got my new 20s [:@][:@][:@][:@]

But I took some fine sandpaper to the damaged area and I was able to fix it enough that you can't see it unless you're looking for it. Would not work on chrome or polished but brushed ones would work fine.

There is a service here in Portland, Oregon that will come to you! They do nice work. About 115.00 per wheel.

That really works on brushed?

I may have to try that on my stockers.

Sure it works as long as it's not too bad. I'd take pics to show you but I'm afraid it won't even show up on the camera! Just make sure you finish off with really fine sandpaper....and sand in the direction of the brushed lines.
