Default SCUFFED RIM!

I was in a rush this morning and smacked a curb. There's long segment of curb rash on the polished lip of my rim. Does anyone know if these can be re-surfaced and if so, where....
thanks!

Ye Olde Wheel Shop, but it's in Maryland. Sorry to hear this, Steve.

Has the paint held up on the calipers?

Wheel Doctor in VB is part of "Ye ole Wheel Shop" in MD.

Sorry to be the one to tell you this Steve, but non-alloy repairs are typically temporary - they only last about a year, but it is much better than the initial gash.

Hey Tenblade..
I had a honda dealer whack mine changing tires...they're also a BMW dealer...they said no problem...bmr people are always wacking their rims...we have a guy what comes in once a week and fixes them. And he did a nice job.

Check your local BMW dealer and ask who's good....apparantly they get lots of curb rash

Funny you say fltsfshr - our BMW and high line stores are the only two stores we have that get weekly visits from the wheel doctor

I think we'll get Steve covered, but I'm going to be the last person to recommend someone to him
