I have been planning on powder coating my stock wheels since I bought the car back in November. Unfortunately, the previous owner of my car curbed the rear passenger wheel and scraped it up. I was planned on having a family member help me fix my wheel, but I got impatient, and decided to try it myself.

Originally, the wheel looked much like this, except over a larger section. I know this is not the original wheel but I forgot to take pics before I started, hopefully you will get the idea



Now after about half an hour worth of work, it looks like this
The entire section in this pic was rashed

and here's a close up of what it pretty much looks like throughout. A few spots are a little bit too deep to file down to.

And here's the final product with about another 10 minutes of work

Let me know what you guys think

 

wow, looks pretty damn good. i tried to dremel mine down a bit but a lot of it was way too deep to make it look good. plus i did it with the tire still on so that makes it tougher

 

ya it was pretty easy with the tire off. All I used was a file and 100 grit sandpaper.

 

I need to do this, I've rashed my rims

 

i think when i get new rims i'll prob try to smooth out my curb rashes better. then probably paint my rims too. or if money allows it get them powder coated. i want to keep my stockers for winter tires and whatever aftermarket rims (probably drag dr-34's) for summer tires.
