Looking for a re-conditioning of OEM rims.

[Bakum]

This may sound crazy but is there anyway to remove the scratches on the Stock RacingHart rims? I was away the last couple weeks and my g/f was using my car and decided to FU** my wheels up real nicely. (bang) I like the stock rims and would like to keep them. Or at least replace them without getting ***** on the price from the dealer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Define "scratches". On the paint? On the lip? Were they curbed?

I got some pics...... it's pretty bad..... i'm so pissed right now.(gun)
My wheels are dirty cause I just got home last night.

oof curbed to hell ><

Good question. I've wondered the exact same thing with the '03 wheels. Mine haven't been curbed but show some minor scratches from tire changing. I'd like to keep the same bright silver finish. I don't know how easily it can be replicated just like stock, or how durable it would be.

I think im gonna just buy a new rim if I can't get it fixed. Hart racing Doesnt make that Rim design anymore so I may have to go to the dealer. If I don't get a good price there, im gonna just buy new rims because that just looks gaudy. I'm thinking I would replace the Stock Rims with these, but im still browsing.

I ve had my wheels done and it can be a pain in the ass. The color has to be matched so it might stand ou tlighter or darker. It can peel. And can also be expensive??? 200 per wheel +/-. I was goig to have mine redone but im not. I ve thought abought getting them all polished which would easier to maintain and cheaper to fix if ever curbed. I think i should have done this last time they i had them refinished.

www.fixrim.com. I got my old 18 done for 120/rim, they fix dent, scratch, rust and when I got it back, I couldn't believe how nice it was.

Thanks for all the imput everybody. That www.Fixrim.com place sounds good, but the closest location to me is New York which is a good 2 hours from me. And I dont have another car or spare set of rims to put on till they would be done re-finishing them.

Got a price from a Mazda Dealer on the Stock Rims, its about $460 each wheel, so I may either just deal with the Curbed rims, or just get something different.

for 460, you can buy a whole set used. There are some ppl here with some nice condition ones.
