i got some curb rash on one of my wheels the other day. i think it may be too deep for me to repair myself but i was just wondering if anyone knew the best, or any way for that matter, to repair curb rash? sand and polish? or should i just try to take it to a professional to if its fixable?

Re: curb rash question!
I wouldn't waste my money fixing them if they are stock rims.<a href=\"http://www.fbodyelpaso.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.fbodyelpaso.org</a> A4 stock 3.42 and LSD not Y87,SLP cold air induction, whisper lid, k&n filter, flowmaster 80 series, hypertech, 160 powerstat thermostat, t/a front bumper, functional nostrils, pacesetter headers best et: 15.9 at about 4800ft -
Re: curb rash question!
They aren't stock rims, check his cardomain site. I would take the car to a professional and get an estimate. Can't hurt to ask how much it would cost and then go from there. I was given an estimate of 150 to completely redo one of my stock 1994 z28 rims..so obviously I didn't get it done.Comment

Re: curb rash question!
yeah they aren't stock. thing is, i think i might be able to get a new one for $150. so if the estimate is over that, then i'll probably just get a new one. but then what do i do with the old one? is it worth tryin to sand and polish out the scratches? i don't think that they are too deep, but then again i'm not a professional. what kind of places would do that though? i have no clue where to check.1994 Camaro 3.4 L V6 <br />2.5\" Flowmaster 80 Series American Thunder Exhaust<br />SLP Cold Air Intake<br />Sony Head Unit<br />Pioneer Midranges<br />2 10\" Sony XPlod 1100 W Subs<br />Power Acoustiks 980 W Amp<br /> <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/heartbeat_of_94\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/id/heartbeat_of_94</a>Comment

Re: curb rash question!
I was able to repair curb rash on 3 of my 17"x10" Smoothie II's. Are the wheels you have clear coated or are they aluminum? If they are polished aluminum and not clear-coated/painted, you should be able to fix them. I was able to sand out the scuffs (one wheel was scuffed up bad) and polish them back up...you couldn't even tell.
I did a How To on how I did it. Here's the link:
