chrome scratches

Does anybody know the name of a company that epairs wheels? I slightly hit a curb today and scratched a little of teh chrome off the wheel. I know there are places that fix up small bits like that in rims, so I was wondering if anybody knew the name of one of those places. Thanks in advance.

I haven't heard of anyone who can fix this and I would probable think it would be cheaper to replace anyway. Good Luck.

no, a fried of mine had a good chunk of his stock lightning wheel taken out, and he had it shipped somewhere the auto repair place recommended, and they fixed it up good as new. didnt even need the new chunk. i figure they could do somethin like that and then chrome it again

...almost any shop that specializes in custom wheels can fix it. All they do is grind it down, and then rechrome the the entire wheel. I had this done a few years ago. Costed me about $110 per wheel.

Shop around your area and have it done locally. That would cut the cost of shipping the thing $$$.
