Default Chrome Rim scuff

So today pulling into Sonic the unthinkable happend...... My beautifull chrome rim barely scuffed agasint the curb [:@]....

Its not bad at all and was not even visible when i took a picture of it to post on here..... But it is there.

So what i was wondering is for all you guys with a little scuff on your chromies..... Do i need to worry about it rusting now? Should i get it sanded down or something so that rain cant rust it or am i just worrying over nothing?

Thanks,
Adam

Na it will be fine. I have curb rash on one of mine, and from what you described mine is way worse and i've had no problems with rust or anything and its been through rain and all that stuff for months now...

haha its okay, mine is sort of bad, and you don't see it in pictures...nor going down the road. Only time someone would notice is if they were like staring at my rims in a parking lot with binoculars..haha.
But yea, just don't worry about it.

Unless you have steel rims.... which I highly doubt... then you should have aluminum.... aluminum dont rust!
