    Question about Keying and Curbing My Rims

    This has possibly been the worst week of my like. First, on Monday, my car gets keyed big time down the passenger side. Second, last night, I was talking on my cell phone and run up on a curb and curbed my rims pretty badly. What can I do to get the scratches taken out of my rims? Can the dealership or auto shop do it when the take care of the keying? Or are there any other ways that I can? Let me know what is best to do.

    OUCH! Chad you have had a sucky week. I don't think it's going to get any better either. If you scratched the chrome on your wheels, there isn't much of an easy fix available.

    It depends on how bad it is, but they may have to be rechromed or replaced.

    Call Jack at Tire & Wheel Connection 281-469-4481, and see what he can do for you. Worse case scenerio is you have to replace them. If so, he can get copies at a decent price...

    BTW-Tell Jack that Ken sent you. He will know...

    sorry to hear that. not sure what to tell you, but i know a few companies you can mail your rims to them and they'll repair them, but yeah, expensive and an inconvience.
    goodluck though, my truck was keyed when it was only a month old ;c both passenger doors had to be repainted, and now they've got orange peel

    Maybe you should upgrade to the 22" HD wheels which are $495 a piece. Now don't get one wheel -- that might look awkard...Be sure to change all four ---

    The problem with curbing chrome wheels is that in order to fix them they have to remove all of the chrome first, weld the aluminum and then re-chrome. It's not cheap, about 350.00 a wheel.
