Any way to repair them edging? About 1/4 of the circumference of the edge of the rim is torn up! It's not like noticeable but damn, I know it's there...
While pulling a bitch I thought I had enough room only to hear the scrape of the front right rim on the curb. Anyway to clean it up or am I due for a new wheel?

most alloy damage can be repaired, I just got quoted on fixing the scratches on my wheels and I was told $135 each...but mine also need to be re-powdercoated black...kind of sounded like a lot but i'm sure it can be done...

it linked me to some BMW and infiniti forums where people had the same issues so I just clicked around and found some local places...I don't think you're in California but the people I called were "Velvet Touch" (repairmywheels.com) I e-mailed them the pictures of my wheel damage and they called me back with that estimate, might wait a little longer seeing as how I got ANOTHER scratch today - I'm usually very careful but now that I know they need to be fixed anyway I guess I'm getting careless...it's these damn curved drive-thru's!
