Congrats To Me On My First Messed Up Rim

1.5 years old, and still like new... were my 4 rims.... I got the nice ones, the diamond black which came on the SE's...
So how long can i go without rubbing them against the curb.... If you only knew how loud and how long i was cursing outside in the streets!

Anyway, is there a way i can fix it, or paint over the scratches, or whatnot???

Ehh don't feel bad. I seriously screwed up two of my stock Enkeis a while back. I bought four new, cheapo wheels for the price of one replacement stock wheel. They look nice IMO: hyperblack spokes with silver lip. I've been meaning to buy two used replacements for the stock ones because of weight differences, but I can't really afford it.

He did, and now we've both posted really lame OT comments in it.

BTW back on topic: most wheel/tire stores can fix it if it isn't too bad.

I have a similar problem ... but it was a tire shop that messed up my SE wheels. All 4 have horrible scarring around the lip area and around the lugs ... some on the faces of the spokes. They are refinishing them for me. I'm also concerned about their ability to match the custom finish ...

Good luck with the repair.
