Default Scraped wheel...Solutions?



Uploaded with ImageShack.us
I don't see this as a big deal, but if theres a solution for this I'd do it.

Scraped part of my wheel up against a curb (yeah FML stupidity).


Picture shows the damage, slight scraping up against the bottom of my wheel. Wasn't too bad because I got out of it quick, and its not very noticeable unless you look for it.


Anything I can do to fix this? Any products? Or paint?

There 19" machine aluminum 2010 GT wheels.... these



Scraping is on the part closest to the tire

you could try just sanding the scraped part down with a fine sandpaper and then repaint and reclear it. also make sure to cover up what you dont want to sand.

I say just leave it. When's the last time you saw a car and went "Wow, nice car, let me check the rims for curbage"? Lol. Especially if it isn't very noticeable. Those are damn nice rims btw, I would cry if I curbed those.

Yeah I was pretty mad at myself when I saw the damage. Its not noticeable at all, but it's more of the fact that I KNOW its there

And yeah I love the rims haha. I'll prob just leave it

Was finding a paint that matched your wheels hard?

If not, I might try this...maybe over the summer. When I have some down time and I install some mods

Well I didn't paint them. that's just from a light sanding and then polish. you should just be able to sand it smooth and then put some clear on it.
