Riptide

So I have the black bullits with the chrome rim along the outside edge. Curb rash'd. Previous owner did two of them, I nuked the other two. In my defense the 235mm pirellis don't provide much protection on a 9" rim. Still my fault though.

Is there anything I can do about this without replacing the whole wheel? Are there any paints I could use that would brush on easy and might blend the damage in better?

hmm i know you can use black sharpie on small scratches on a black car...

Maybe a silver sharpie or some sort of pen like that would help. Never seen one for sale though.

I have a black glossy pen that I use on my black rifles to cover up scratches. But this is chrome, not black enamel.

If you have a metal shop in your area you can take it to them to see if they can polish it out, but if its in deep, then it will be very difficult/impossible.

It's deep. That's why I was wondering about a way to maybe blend it in better.

the only thing I know to do is possibly call some wheel shops in your area and ask them the question to see if they can recommend a fix....there should be someone in your area that can point you in the right direction

good luck

do you have any pics to show us how bad it is?

When my wife rashed my wheel, I got a estimate at an area wheel shop for $150 to repair one wheel. IMO it may be less expensive to just buy new like I did.

Hi Rip, I have a link from a website I found a long time ago, I hope this helps. http://www.audiworld.com/tech/ext43.shtml
also, if you don't want to try fixing it yourself, there is a wheel repair web site, I think they might be a franchise, but I heard they are not inexpensive. Good Luck
