Fricken granite curb stones ! Parking the car this afternoon I pulls little to close to those darn granite curbs and wouldn't you know I scratched the front rim. Holy crap it just gets more going !
Anyone know of any place that refinishes rim in the western mass or ct area. For that fact anywhere in mass. First real scratch :(

That sucks!!! I changed my LS 18's for the 20's and have been worried I will do the same thing. I will not even go through drive thru's In fear of hurting my rims!! I hope it gets fixed and looks great sorry for trouble!!

I've got curb rash on 2 of mine...

Funny how the winter rims (18" heritage) are still in perfect shape.

It happens to everyone at some point. :( There are places that fix them in the area. I know one of us had theirs repaired this summer I think it was reasonable.

There is a place in Manchester NH that refinishes.
The dealer scratched a rim changing a flat tire.
They did such a good job, I can only tell by looking at the inside lip which one it is.
They sent it off and paid for it; don't know how much?
Do you want me to ask the dealer where and/or name?

I got some rash on all 4 of my rims!!! they range from pretty small to pretty noticeable. I was thinking of Plasti-dipping them I hope it will cover them up a little... has anyone Plasti-dipped over some road rash? how did it turn out????
