I know a lot of you guys with aftermarket wheels have been into a brawl with a curb or two! So post them up and lets see if we can relieve some of the pain and embrace the curb rashes as character points...haha Yeah I know i sound like a preacher

 

Sure you don't want to see my OEM track wheels? There's probably 1-2lbs of brake dust that won't come off without a chisel on each wheel along with all sorts of scratches, rubber marks, and other stains from toxins unbeknownst to us from various race pads after 8K+ track miles...

 

I've rashed one of my volks and valet did the other 3.. actually 4.. more rashes on the original.. I'm gonna chrome them and should be good as new.

 

I have good depth perception when it comes to where my wheels are in relations to curbs. It’s the front of my car that takes a beating.

 

what do you guys do to take care of curb rashes? or do you just live with it?..also, does powder coatinf fill in some of the marks?

 

curb rash adds character and should be embraced.

 

Have you tried using tire foam to clean off the dust?
Sounds nuts I know, but try it on a small less visible section of the rim after you wash them. Had an old ford escort (LOL...yeah I know) that I used foam on the wheels religiously. One mistake proved a GREAT solution.

 

Did the Valet die from lead poisoning? He should have.

 

I rashed my bronze Nismo wheel, and it can't be fixed cause they can't match the bronze color
