Rim repair question -PICS-

I recently got these wheels. Somehow imperfections were perceived although the wheels were nearly new (which is puzzling since my 2001 wheels don't have an ounce of curbing). Any advice on what to do or should I leave as is?




As evidenced in the pic below, you have to be relatively close to the wheel to notice the damage...



Thanks for any input.

Leave as is. Or get a small bottle of touchup paint in a similar colour and dab some on if you want. Maybe build it up with some primer to fill it in then top it with the colour.

Thanks CM, do you forsee this sort of issue getting worse at all (further chipping)?

I'm going to go with no not in the short term. Maybe in the long term. Dunno enough about wheel-paint issues to give you a solid answer. Throw down some paint for sure tho.

There is a sticky at the top of the forum on how to refinish wheels. It's pretty involved for something as minor as your chip there.
