lol when was the last time you tried to buff out road rash from a rim??? I know there is a place in RI that does rim repairs.. repaired a crack in one of my Axis rims a while back. If I am correct the do cracks, straightening and rash repair.

How bad are they? Like are they messed up or is it just some curbage? Cuz I'll be honest I have some curbage on mine but its nothing I notice or can see without lookin for the spot you know? Maybe some people are more nit-picky than others lol. Have u ever considered painting your rims and then maybe just smooth out the messed up spots beforehand??

Rim and Wheel Works-http://www.rimandwheelworks.com/
RimPRO-http://www.rimpro.com/index.html

there are a few places that I know of....hope it helps...trying to repair yourself isn't easy. P{ainting them really isn't an option cause all your gonna do is hide the scuffs....unless...you remove the rash first..I have been down the road in the past...removed rash myself, painted and cleared thre rims....and you can still see the lower spots on the rim if you get right on top of them. Powder coating is another option...and alot better then painting. Was sponsored threw a shop a few years back that custom did rims for me. check those places and see what they offer in prices. I did find a place that does repairs..flat price..which is cool...if you have a load of damage...something small thou doesnt sound like a steal..

Good luck either way to ya and hope thie links work for ya.

You can go to "The Wheel Shop" in Windsor Locks, CT too... A little closer to you if you are in Mass. They are on King Spring Rd off RTE 75 near the airport. Good guys and very reasonable.
