The other day my stock rims were scratched really bad on a concrete sidewalk. I dont want to buy any new rims rite now so is there anything I can do to save them?

 

plenty.

Get some 400/600 grit sandpaper...
Get some bondo spot filler....
Get some paint thinner....
Get some matching paint.

Clean the hell out of your curb-rashed area with paint thinner. Do it several times. Make sure the area is clean clean clean clean clean.

Then do it a few more times to be 100% sure.

Mask out the rest of the wheel leaving only your curb-rashed portion visible. Apply the bondo spot putty in thin layers, keep layering it up until you're a bit higher than the factory would have been. Let each layer dry before applying a new one.

Start sanding. Get it so it's really smooth and looks like the rash is gone. After all that, paint away. I do 2 or 3 layers of paint and wet-sand each layer with like 1000 grit.

let each layer dry overnight. the result will be no more curb rash.

 

You can also take it to a shop if you don't want to do it yourself. It's relatively inexpensive and your wheels will look like nothing ever happened to them.

 

PAINT? u paint polished rims? how do u fix a scraped polished lip? i doubt u can unless u bring it somehwere

 

I believe the stock wheels are painted.

 

yea i thought they were talking about an aftermarket wheel

 

if you look in the lowrider mag there is a shop sorry dont remember the name the repair and they can also chrome them for you

 

www.denttime.com does mobile wheel repair....i think they told me give or take on a polished lip it was 150/wheel to repair.

 

follow IceNice's post if you want to fix it yourself.

 

Thanks a lot everybody Ill look into doing it myself but I will probably go with a shop if its not too expensive.
