Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix scratched up rims? i know you can chrome them but you would need to send them to cali for a month or so. can you wrap them with carbonfiber? that would look phat....

 

You can get your rims refinished to take out any scratches. It think it costs around $80 per rim depending on how bad they are. Check out shops in your area that do this. As for carbon fiber rims....sounds like an interesting idea....

 

omg... i think that carbon fiber would be sickkkkkkk
i gotta find out about that... ill let u guys know if i figure anything out...

 

BBS made the Moda M1 in a carbon-fiber finish, I don't know if they still do. It looked sweet on darker-colored cars.

 

i heard they only go up to like 16" right? do u know where i could see a pic of them somewhere? thanks

 

My bad, it was the Moda M2 they made in carbon fiber. It looks just like the M1 with a lip around the rim. I'm looking for a pic now, no one seems to have one and I don't have a scanner. The only place I know you can see them is in an older car mag's Tire Rack ad.. that's how I found it. It's in the January 96 issue of R&T, so anything around then (C&D, Automobile, Motor Trend) would probably have the ad in it.

 

thx... all my mags go back to only around 98... ill try to do a search online...

 

DIY, try fiberlay.com or fiberglast.com. Get some carbon and some epoxy, top it with a clearcoat and drive away.

 

Got one...
