Where to repair Super Advan Rims

Hi I bought the Super Advans Rims recently. But yesterday night as I was turning out from a carpark, my rims hit the kerk and they were scratched. The rear one was slightly scratched but the front one has metal edges sticking out. Do you know where and how to repair my rims back to as new (Hope its possible)? It was confirmed that the supplier do not do repairs for them. So if you can help, pls do. Lost some sleep last nite because of this heart pain!!!

Someone mentioned skinning to me. That's like trimming the metal off my rims. The link you mentioned is for covering up the scratches is it?

I dont know if these guys are anywhere near you, but check out Wheel technologies:

http://www.wheeltechnologies.com/

I have 2 BBS RS-GT's with them right now for repair and re-paint. I used to work at a body shop, and they did all our repairs for us. They have great turn around time and the wheels always look brand new and match the other wheels.

Good Luck

It's for covering light scratches and rashes, if you bent or chipped your wheels then those write-ups won't help.
