Default Dam, I scraped my 19" rim

Any Ideas on how to get a scratch/scrape of my GT-P rims. I cleaned and polished the spot but you can still see it. Short of re-machining I have run out of ideas.

I need to stop taking calls and writing while driving, They move the kerbs when your not watching the road :yeees:

John,

Sorry to hear that mate. I went to a bloke in Osborne Park who did a good job on repairing mine. In fact I had scraped both rear wheels a couple of times, of a car park where I work.

Anyway I got the one rim rebuilt and replaced the other with the spare.... so my spare is now the scratched one.

I can imagine how ****ed off you would have been.

cheers

Peter

Thanks for that mate, I never even thought of putting my spare on sleep:

Might do that and leave my rim with the repair man.

I am ****ed off at myself for doing it : It is not a big scrape but I can see it.

Thanks again Peter

John

Replace or swap...

Repairing them isnt the best option as the finish will never be the same and they usually lose their shine after a while (none OEM coatings)
