it'll prolly cost you just as much to get it fixed as it would for a new rim...


you could also sand them down a little and get em' powder coated...

Hey, you're from York? I'm from Lancaster.

Anyway, if you don't want to just by another rim, you can always powdercoat them. I have some old, scratched up rims that I'm going to powdercoat soon. My friend got his 18's powdercoated for $50/rim.

i thought of buying another rim...but i don't like that idea much..
everyone's told me about sanding it and all that...but what im most worried about (being a girl and so damn picky) is the Enkei logo sticker that got ruined on the one spoke...if i have them buffed, sanded, powdercoated or whatever, it wont match the other 3 b/c it wont have that sticker.....or is it possible that i could get that little sticker somewhere? UGH! im a pain, i know!

most rims repair shops will repair scratches and curbages for <$80/wheel +mount and balance.

That's why you get all 4 of them done so they match!...lol

Besides, that way you get to have them powdercoated whatever color you want.
