I scratched my rear right wheel earlier this week and I'm wondering if anyone knows how to make it disappear or at least become less noticeable. Any help is appreciated!

 

I think its only $100 flat (correct me if I'm wrong) to get it fixed from Infiniti.. I could have sworn someone else got their rim fixed relatively cheap.. I guess you could get some sort of touch of paint for the time being. It's really not THAT noticeable. Could have been worse.

 

i got a little nick in my rim from taking a corner too fast. Some bozo was on my tail. its not a big deal and if you don't tell anyone they more likely tahn not won't notice.

 

It happens to the best of us. Don't sweat it though. Only you will notice it.

 

He's right, my mom scratched the chrome rim on her Lexus and I wash that car by hand every week or two and it actually took me 2 months before I finally noticed it. go figure. Im surprised the microfiber never got caught on it because i clean the rims and dry them (chrome rims are a pain to upkeep especially from brake dust and water spots)

 

that's some very minimal curb rash. it's probably only noticeable by the owner. even upon returning a lease you wouldn't be charged for something so minor.

On the other hand, even minor blemishes can be bothersome for a proud owner. A hundred bucks and it'll be good as new.

 

well i am the proud owner and it is bothersome! we'll see if it keeps bugging me in the weeks to come.

 

Owe... although they say chicks dig scars.

 

a little sandpaper can soften the edges and make it less noticeable.

 

This happened to me this week too on the same wheel.

 

Here's a great link if anyone is looking to try a DIY solution.

Thx George! i will do this.

 

There is no way I would DIY this one. Take it to a professional pay 100 bucks and be done with it.

 

thanks for that post. i have a little rash area on my rear wheel also. im going to wait for summer to arrive then ill do this dyi..

 

Dont do it. This car is NOT a Civic. Plus the color on stock rims all vary from diff shades in color. It's gonna look even MORE noticeable. Just par the $100 and get it refinished.
