Wheel curb rash!!!

im very upset now because my 2k3 TI wheels have curb rash. i was wondering does anyone know is possible to fix these little annoying mark on the wheel or place that does it? i really like my TI wheels but i don't want to spend a fortune to buy new one and the mark are annoying the hell out me. Im from Massachusetts and if anyone know a good shop that fixes this problem I would really be thankful.

if you just want to cover the spot on the cheap, sand down the rough scrapes. People have found decent matches for the wheel color (silver) using Testors enamel model paint. It wouldnt look that great but at a few feet, no one would noticed. in theory

You may want to check with http://www.fixrim.com to see if they can help. I used them on a regular alloy (silver painted) rim and they did a good job. I don't know if they can color match the titatium wheels though. Give them a call. GOOD LUCK.

You mean curb feelers?!?!?! Wow.

Well, I think they were only made for Cadillacs and at that you had to be a Pimp Daddy to buy them.

personally if it came to maintaining the integrity of my rims or sidewalls i wouldn't care wut it looks like.

BUt if u wanna go modern u can always install laser or rf driven proximity sensors. This is the really pricy option.

What is the point of having nice rims if you are going to have ghetto curb feelers on your car?

Or you could be very cautious at all times about hitting curbs.
