Re: where to fix rims which have been kerb?
assuming "standard" and "common" curb rash and nothing dramatic
leong seng = $50
hurry = $30
both can do good job. i have fixed curb rash twice with hurry. if your rim is silver or silver-like colour, it should looks like new ... if your rim is special colour or powder coated, that's very tricky and may be unrepairable without respray

Re: where to fix rims which have been kerb?
Just to share....due to my work, I had seen how factory produce super polished shiny surface on metal parts. The simplest method is to use a high speed grinding (hand held type) machine and mount a super fine sand paper on the tip and work on the surface....a steady hand is required but no big job for our bros here who can mod much more complicated stuff !! So, polished surface can be repaired for sure.....if cost is so affordable as $30 to $50....then let the pro do it......cheers!

Re: where to fix rims which have been kerb?
so before you do any of this repair job, some uncertainty is there.
Repair is repair, the best party to do the job is the wheel manufacturer but usually they dont do, do heard about those US product customer made wheel accept repair only thing is the freight cost
if your rim chrome ,its only electroplated a tiny layer of Chrome on the surface, propably the copper color is the pri coat.Appetie;680015 said:

Hi wt-know
When you mention silver or silver like colour... are you refering to those standard OEM rims on BMW that sort of colour.
How does Hurry repair them .... sanding? wouldn't that cause the shine on the rims go off or have scuff marks?
I just had kerb scratches on one of my rims...
