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

 

no touch up paint

find a rim repair shop

 

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.

 

thats harsh 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!!!

 

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

 

Did you put clear over hte touchup?

Or do they sell the clear coat touch-up at the dealer or online?

 

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!

 

sorry thats right, all i have to watch out for is wild animals.

I wasnt giving the guy ****, 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.

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.
