scraped wheel fix
I managed to "rub" a curb the other day with my right front wheel. I have the 20" midnight silver wheels. The contact with the curb managed to damage the lip of the wheel (about a third of the perimeter). Anyone have any ideas on what can be done to fix? I really don't want to buy a new (replacment) wheel. The metal itself seems very soft. Maybe filing it a bit might work?:(

Thanks for the reply. I was looking to see if it is possible to resurface the damaged part of the wheel. I have got to believe that it can be done and it is not that difficult to do. The wheel would have to be removed from the car and the tire from the wheel.
The best I can describe the damage is it feels coarse to the touch and you can feel to the touch raised pieces of metal on the wheel where it was scraped. |
