what to do with chromed rims
Well my girlfriend managed to mangle 2 of my perfectly good OEM chromed rims. Take the worst pic of curb checking posted x2 and take some bigger chunks out of it.

Anyone with idea of what i should do with them?

Get a new girlfriend? j/k

If they're worse than mine was I'd bite the bullet and buy new ones. Sux.

the next time you buy tires make sure you get a set with rim protector beads

frankly, I don't understand why all the major tire manufacturers don't use them ...

You can powdercoat chrome wheels? I don't think it would stick to chrome.
