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.

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.

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!!!

Depending on how deep your scratches are, I found Mazda Sunlight Silver Touchup paint worked.

Chill out. There's no need for you to react like that, he makes a perfectly valid point.

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.
