View Full Version : Scuffed Wheels help!!! tommy12g 11-08-2003, 04:53 PM I have a couple of scuffs on my stock wheels and im hoping there is something that i can do to fix it, maybe like a touch up paint but for rims ?? if anyone knows anything please help. thanks mikeb 11-08-2003, 06:16 PM no touch up paint find a rim repair shop rxtreme 11-08-2003, 08:49 PM Costs about 100 dollars/wheel to fix at a wheel repair shop. I used a place in Farmingdale, NY for a wheel my wife scuffed up and it looks just like new. Kas 11-08-2003, 09:46 PM you've already scuffed your wheels and want to get them fixed, but given your history your probably going to scuff them again so whats the use. mikeb 11-09-2003, 03:33 AM thats harsh kas Kas 11-09-2003, 04:41 AM it may be harsh, but its also the truth. why waste money. thats how i see it. syntrix 11-09-2003, 08:27 PM Originally posted by Kas it may be harsh, but its also the truth. why waste money. thats how i see it. Why fix things and make them look good? I'd hate to see how messy your bedroom is ;) Oh, was that harsh? Seriously, rim repair shop, or find an aftermarket rim!!!

Or do they sell the clear coat touch-up at the dealer or online? tommy12g 11-11-2003, 12:30 PM KAS i guess when you live in a big city, things are more prone to happening, i guess they dont have paved roads or a big city up in Melbourne? when you grow up and make it to a big city, ill see you on this forum asking how to fix scuffs!! idiot! Kas 11-11-2003, 04:34 PM sorry thats right, all i have to watch out for is wild animals. I wasnt giving the guy shit, i was saying whats the use in fixing when its going to happen again. its just a waste of money!

Chill out. There's no need for you to react like that, he makes a perfectly valid point. ---jps carnut 11-16-2003, 09:18 PM Some tires hava a pronounced rub strip on the outside sidewall to help protect the rim. These OEM Potenzas have kind of a strip; the rims seem more protected than those on many cars I've seen. The Blizzak LM-22's I ordered for winter are supposed to have a good rub strip. You might consider checking that feature out for your next set of tires. I know how easily the scuffs occur. |
