Any way to fix/smooth out a curbed wheel?

rag133 · 07-25-2010, 11:07 AM

Curbed the wheel for the first time in 10 years in a pitch black back ass road I was parking on, is there any way to smooth it out or fix it up without having to get it done professionally?

Yeah, sand it man.. then buy bmws clear and paint. Someone will provide a link where you can get both at a decent price.

Thanks. Is that the same paint you used too?

I bought some wheel paint at autozone. It worked great. Good luck man, It will not be hard at all cause yours isnt bad. Mine took a long ass time, I had a lot of bondo / sanding to do.

Oh, and you might want to take your tire off the car first. Its a lot easier and you wouldnt want to get spray paint on it.

I found a guy locally that charged me $25 bucks and looks brand new. That's what I would do.

I've got one and it works great - has all the stuff you need to smooth it out and restore the finish on BMW painted wheels. Won't work on my new hypersilver CSLs, but it sure fixed up my original wheels. www.bavauto.com
