Dinged Wheel
scraped a curb pulling into parking garange.
Stock wheel for a '12 2SS - any suggestions on "fixing/repairing" this other than costly replacement? |

There are shops that specialize in fixing rims and wheels. The price may be half what you would pay for a new wheel but it is definitely worth if done correctly.
Good luck! |

Not sure if your wheel is polished or midnight silver but check out this thread.

I did the same thing to one of my Giovanna Dalars a few weeks ago. Broke my heart because it was the first curb rash in almost a year. I pulled out my dremel tool and sanded it down then buffed it out. Its not 100% perfect but it looks good and can't be noticed.

Thanks. Don't have a dremel and had to Google to see what it is. Not handy-man tool oriented. So checking out local repair places but thanks for the reply.
