well ive well and trully got the s**ts. ive gone close to 6-7 months without putting a scratch on my rims. dad borrows the car and puts a gutter scrape up the left front rim F**K ING HELL. its about 200mm round the the lip of the rim. f**k i tell you he is absolutly useless.
and to make things worse he didnt tell me about it. i came out this morning and saw a little bit of concrete dust on the tyre, and found the marks on closer inspection. then he doesnt say sorry. if i did this to his freakin car he'd probably take me to court. so has anyone had to repair gutter scrapes? howd your wheels turn out? whered you get it done? im in sydney but if i have to travel a bit to get them to a good shop then ill do it. help me please.

I have 3 rims with bad gutter scrapes, thanks to the guy who owned the car previously. I'm going to take them to bob jane to have them filed back and smoothed and then get them resprayed, should be about $80 a rim all up. You can get them completely repaired i think but i dont know where.

I really don't think you should bother. Wheels will get scratched, it's inevitable. Wait until the damage is actually noticable before throwing money away on a repair job. Seriously, you are the only person who will ever notice the damage.

I'd just say "thanks for the new wheel dad"!
But my father is a damn good driver.
