Default Rim Scratches, anyone help?

Ok, since I've gotten my new rims, tires and lowering springs, it seems like I'm just not used to making turns. Especially here at UCR. I don't know what it is about this place but seems like taking turns are deceiving and I just don't take them wide enough. Maybe because a lot of the turns are as your going up/down hill. Also the rims stick out a bit more than stock but still....


Anyways, on my front right rim, the scratches or on the actual outer part of the rim (not tooo bad). On the rear right rim, the scratches are on one of the spokes. Anyone know if I can have these fixed? or like smoothed down?

Thanks a lot, I appreciate anyones help. Here are some pics....

Yeah, you can get those fixed no problem. I think it'll be $75 - $150 per rim. Someone posted some rim repair places in socal, so just do a quick search and it should come up.

Those scratches are easily repaired. There is a shop in Orange called MagMasters. They should be able to fix it for less than $100.

good luck

If your cheap, like me, you can just take a Dremel tool with a buffer on the end of it and clean that up nicely.
