Default broke my rims...

I hit a curb... scratched my rims pretty good... they are the 17 inch pony package rims... any suggestions for repair? i was thinking some sanding and perhaps a good polish? Anyone that knows what to do short of a new rim please share!

sanding might not be a good idea
It could make them impossible to balance
I hope some one with more experience (than me) helps you

Just look up some shops around you that specialize in wheel repair. For a decent price I think you can get the wheel refinished. -Andrew

If they are the stock pony rims I wouldnt even waste my time trying to find a refinisher to get them fixed....
You can get a brand new set of take rims and tires for $299

i used a dremel and polish on my razors. go slow and be careful and use a fine grit with the dremel. you cant even tell mine were scratched unless you kneel down and look really close. good luck

I totally agree -- why waste you time? 17" wheels are cheap! And, you could get a new set of tires thrown in!
