Curbed wheel

I've somehow managed to scrape one of my alloys while parking...

I always park miles away from the curb but for some reason wanted to park closer and scraped 3 of my spokes...

Anyone know how much a refurb might cost or have a miracle easy solution...

(will post a pic tomorrow)

bah
sorry to hear about that, but it happens to the best of us trust me!
i've got to a stage where if i curb them i don't really care lol.
you can't see the marks when they are spinning

apart from that, a refurb at my local was quoted at 52 quid an alloy in March but just couldn't justify spending 208 quid!

I wonder if there is any alloy wheel cleaner that helps with scuffs? Might help a bit

I wouldn't have thought so, it may clean the scratch a bit and it may then be a little bit less noticable but since you know about it, it will bug you til you sort it. Guttin tho, but at least its only the one wheel.
