Alright, looking for some help re: scuffed rim
Well, I screwed up, cut a corner too close and gouged the hell out of my right rear wheel. I checked with a wheel repair shop and they said the polished rims don't typically do well with a repair.
2012 SS, factory wheels. Have any of you been down this road? Suggestions? Looks like they run about $150 on eBay, used and only lightly scuffed, more like $300-$400 new. |

Shop is correct, especially if they are deep gouges. Best bet is find a good used one or buy a new one.

Do it right and buy a new one. Unless your car looks like doo doo, get a new one.
