So today I decided to finally sell my rims and tires because I picked out which new rims and tires I wanted... Bout 25minutes later I'm coming back from work and not even paying attention I scrape the side of the rim on the curb pulling out from my parking spot... The scratch is only about 1/4 way around the lip of the rim... Is there anyway to somehow machine this down and making it look like new again so I could atleast get some money for my set of wheels and tires??

 

you could sell em to me for 100 bucks! hahaha............no but seriously, i know theres a way to fix it but i dont remember what its called....i dont know if itd be worth the $ to buy a new one, or just take the spare and sell that with the set of 4

 

The spare is a full size spare with the same rim?! You know I havent even looked under there yet.. the dealer could have taken out the spare and I would have yet to even notice lol... and im so lazy right now to go to the garage to check...

 

no, its a mini spare.

repairing the wheel would cost near a replacement.

Sell as is, will get a little less for them, but make sure they are aware of the scratch.

 

[:@]I slammed a curb a few weeks ago in my '06, 18" aluminum Bullits, and bent the s**t out of both right side rims. Found a place outside of Houston that removed the clearcoat, re-built the aluminum stock, machined, finished, balanced and re-cleared both for $150, a hell of a lot less than new rims. I would venture to say that this service could be found near you.

 

yeah but at 75 a piece the 17" bullitts can be found on ebay

 

I say just sell them in the condition they're in, best alternative you have really.

 

Well then.. would anyone like to buy a set of 4 rims and tires with one of them slightly scratched?! lol
