I curbed my new Volks SF-Winning wheel today, created about 3 inches long curb rash. Knowing Volks anodize the lips, will the shops be able to fix it?

What should I ask the shop before I have them fix it?

Should I chrom the lips? But then I will have to chrom all 4...

Please share your experience guys!!!

Yeah, they will never be the same. Either get them all chromed or buy new wheel, sad but true.

adonization is bullsh!t.. it's the way of volk saying, 'buy a whole new set of rims'

I agree with that entirely, makes them a nightmare if you cant keep them 100%. Im gonna chrome mine.

This is my biggest fear when driving my ZR!

so have a shop to fix it and strip out the anodization is a big nono? CAn't I just polish it from time to time afterwards and keep up the shine?

Or, can't I just ask the shop to fix that small area, then they don't have to re-do the whole lip?

actually an anodized lip is better overall because it forms a chemical bond with the aluminum, thus it won't chip etc. Yes it can't be polished/cleaned the same way as a painted lip, but its not going to start chipping if you damage it. If you would have curbed a painted lip and left it, eventually the paint in that area would have started coming off.

The site I linked is the way to go. I totally bent up a Volk SF Challenge and they fixed it to the point that you would never know there was an issue with it. Screw anodization. If that's your concern then go ahead and waste money on an entirely new wheel when you don't have to.

This is the solution for you. It is cheap, fast, and highly recommended.
Don't complicate the simple.......
