I was just wondering, this is my worst week with my car. After shopping I got a door ding from some carless driver opening there door. And now my wife took the car and got to close to the curb when parking.



Can I repair this

You could try a light emery cloth and sand them down. They also have like liquid steel you could use to fill them in and them sand them down.
I have not tried this so I can't say if it really works, but thats what I could think of.

There are companys who will repair them for you, if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.

What a great time to sand and get them repainted/powder coated!

Same thing happened to me on the 2 month birthday of the car (wait.. the last one was written off on the 2 month mark as well!) ... thankfully it's winter soon for both of us and we should be running 16" steelies. Lots of time to get stuff fixed.

Professional shops will do it for about $100/rim.

+1 on the painting idea though.

Yeah, just call a local wheel refinisher. Mine cost about 100$ to do. They will smooth it out and blend the color back in.
