parallel parking

 

what does parallel parking have to do with taking scratches out? thnx for the help mac

 

I curbed one of my wheels for the first time ever in a car this week, I'm pissed. I thought I'd post b/c Dubs2Pac fan seems to be impatient. Replace them with 17-19" to answer your question

 

get them refinished, go to a wheel repair place....do a search on that subject.

 

DUBS2PAC!!! LOL

 

Are the lips chrome or polished aluminum? If they are aluminum you can polish out the scratches with Flitz or something comprable. If they are chromed try very fine steel wool.

When I had a DSM i used that technique and a file and made them look brand spanking new.
Warning: you do this at your own risk, if you have no idea what you're doing you could screw up your rims.

 

Wow I could never find the heart to do that.(above).

 

yeah, it was my first time trying that and i messed up on the first wheel but the beauty of it is that I started the whole process over again once i got the hang of it and it turned out just fine. I also got my wheels powdercoated and recleared afterwords but they wanted 50 bucks a wheel to refinish it and sand it so i said f-that and did it myself.
