Rim Repair?

is there any good way to fix curb rash on the 18s, out northeast? Or do you just have to replace the rim?

Yes, generally the rim rash can be repaired. It all depends on how bad the damage is..

Post a pic to receive a more definitive answer.

BTW: Forget about getting a 'perfect' color match on the OEM 18" wheel paint. It ain't gonna happen...

figured i'd throw it out there alot of shops from around the US send them wheels that are curbed, bent, etc and they have been doing it for awhile. Might be worth shipping if they do a good job (its all they do).
