rim scuffed
I was getting money from an atm and while pulling away I scuffed up a rim because the curb went in and i didnt see it. Its not terribly damaged, just a little scratched. It just looks bad because I have black rims. Does anyone have any experience with this or any advice. Thank you

Many many owner did rash their rims mostly on the passenger side. I did a little one after installing my new American Racing Torks and here's what I found to prevent any more sratching in the future. They call them Rim Protec. Easy insall, cheap (100$) and looks great. I get many posi compliments since I have them.
22 colors combo. 11 with black tracs and 11 with silver tracs.

Fixing the black zl1 wheels is a piece of cake, learned that the hard way. Just take some fine grit sand paper, sand the scuff or scratch down, primer and use dupli color high temp engine enamel, de1634 I believe. It's a perfect match.

I sent my wheel to a place called Total Appearance in Lawrenceville Ga when my teen-age daughter hit a curb in my Camaro..They were really fast and had my wheel back to me quick.. They did an awesome job on getting out the scuffs and matched my powder coating color on my wheel ..770-7170734 and ask Billy(the owner)..he may tell you to send it to him or he may know someone in your area that can help you..
