Hey,

I notice on one of my gf's mags that shes scraped a gutter on the edge!

They are shadow chrome so its fairly noticable.

Whats the easiest way to try and hide this and can it be repaired at all?

They are only a few months old, so we dont want to buy another mag just for a small scratch and dont really want to get the whole mag repainted.

Thanks

I just got a quote today for $55 for the same damage to mine, to fill scratches and touch up the paint.

Mine had a couple of scatches on the spokes when I took delivery and the dealer had this guy fix it and you can't tell the difference.

Ask your dealer or any car yard who does theirs.

nothing worse than damaging your beautiful rims... :(

I found the best way to tackle it was to give the place i bought the rims from a call...

Cheers,

sorry i was thinking about how your wheels are. I got a quote $85 for my SXI rim to be fixed up. Got a little rock mark in it

yeah chrome would be hard to do!

mine are triple chrome so the scratches dont really show up much.

i will contact the wheel place 2mrw!
