Scuff marks on rims

Well it was bound to happen sooner or later but I finally got a little curb scuff on my C63 rims last night...I wanted to cry! but its not that bad. Anyone know the best way to patch/fix these up without replacing the wheel?

Seriously?

www.google.com

rim/wheel repair

Not that hard imo. Then again this forum has so many idiots I'm not surprised by anything anymore.

sheesh. Thanks for calling me an idiot.

I was basically just asking if there were specific rim/wheel guys....I have never been to one before and wanted to know if anyone has gone to one before. That is why I asked. Sorry to have bothered you.

Ray Catena here in New Jersey has a guy who comes by once every few weeks and fixes scratches etc on rims for $150...supposed to make it look new.

Have your four wheels stolen and go through insurance and get yourself the 19" 16 spoke AMG wheels from europe.

Not a bad idea, so just leave it on 4 jack stands?

Sure that works, unless of course you wanted the upgraded brakes(2 piece) and some new suspensions pieces, then you would just drop it.

I think the only idiots are name callers. Sorry your experience in this forum has not been positive. Hope you get the info you need.

The ole' 2 month member coming in to save the day. All some around here want is an informative and intelligent forum. Asking partial questions does not help anyone. It is a waste of time. Everyone here is glad to help if someone wants help but help us assist you.

Agreed. It's the name calling that I'm challenging.

I had a rim fixed on my BMW years ago and it looked perfect. I brought it to my local dealership at the time and they arranged everything. (side note my Bimmer had a matching rim for a spare, so I just kept the fixed one in the trunk--those were the days, real spare tires and rims!!) I think it cost about $125.

Two of my rims on my CLK have a tiny rash on them--not going to have them fixed--hoping to get a C63 instead!!

AH the dredded crub!! Im a wicked parallel parker, but I swallow my pride and take no chances with my C350. I dont care if I park 1 foot from the curb, I just dont want the rims marked. Anyway just take it to a wheel repaire shop. its not that much for quality work.
