how to fix scratches on your chrome rim

M3Mikey · 07-13-2008, 03:20 PM

Hey guys I hit the curb today and scratched up the whole lip of my back wheel. Any way to fix it or touch it up?

Pretty sure there isn't, but I did the same to my front right... a fix would be great

You can take it to a wheel restoration specialist in your local area. Some places you can atually have wheels shipped to. A lot of these places can work some serious magic. I am sending off my old LTW's off my E36 M3 to have polished soon!

yeah. its very straightforward on the 19" polished rims. Just taking it to a wheel guy. Ask your BMW dealer or detail shop.

obviously the cost is dependent on the damage.. but any ranges for light damage? More than a scratch, maybe a bit of gouging or whatever is typical of curb rash
