Curb Rash?

Post by jake_tim » Fri May 23, 2008 3:36 pm

So, I have some curb rash on my wheels. They are black with a polished lip and one of the lips have some pretty decent curb rash....

is there anywhere that could fix it or at least make it less noticeable?

Not much, it can be sent out and the affected part cleaned and filled in with a TIG welder then re-machined/painted. Otherwise if it isnt too deep, you can put a sanding disk on a dremmel and smooth it out and polish it so it doesn't look s obvious, but it will still be noticeable, especially since you know it's there. Depending on what the rim cost, it may be cheaper to buy another, instead of going the first route.

Edit: Not sure how close this is to you: http://www.mobilewheelrepair.com/usa_ca ... carol.html

Patience, of course, is a very powerful weapon, but sometimes I start to regret that it is not a firearm.
