what can i do to repair the chrome lip on my wheels? they all have curb rash but its not real deep.. just all scratched up and one is startin to rust.. is there anythin i can do to fix em other than send em off to be refinished?

 

bump for anyone that knows how to fix the scratches

 

Get some 800, 1000, 1500, 2000 grit sand paper and a high quality liqiud polish? If they are actually chromed, not sure.

 

thats what i was thinkin bout doin but i wasnt sure if that process would work on chrome or not.

 

are you sure they arent just a polished aluminum? i think most wheels have a polished aluminum lip, not chrome

 

What i said was for polished aluminum. If you sand the scratches out of each grit with wetsanding... it's like a mirror almost chrome but not plated.

I fixed mine by doing that method and they turned out pretty good. Gunna have the face re-powder coated though.

 

mine are chrome plated for sure.

 

What kind of wheels do you have? They kinda look like driftz wheels, if that is the case, driftz have a stainless steel chrome plated ring, i don't think you will get out curb rash.

 

You must have paid an arm and a leg for them then.



Notice the lip... polished aluminum

 

these are the wheels i have.

 

Yeah... he is right, the Driftz are chrome plated.... nothing you can do but replate them

 

yeah thats the wheels i have. they are the r1 drift.

well that sucks.. i guess i'll just get new wheels then.. havin em sent off will end up costin to much..
