[Advancedautosec]

driving home the other night i made to narrow of a turn and my drivers rear wheel scrapped the curb and now i got a nice 6inch scratch in the rim right where rim and tire meet! anyone know if i can get it touched up or fixed or something somehow?

I know the feeling, my friend. A good shop can re-finish it and get it looking brand new, if it is not bent.

its not bent, just scratched. what kind of shop would do that kind of work, and what kind of costs am i lookin at?

Add me to that one. Mine had one curbed when I bought it. Now I have two because of somebody almost hitting me at the mall. I tried Turbax (www.turbax.com (http://www.turbax.com)) and they said they don't do clearcoated wheels. However, you can email them at Turbax@aol.com and ask.

A good body shop can re-finish and re-apply the clear coat. Cost is dependant on the condition of your rim and the quality of the work.
