So I'm doing the summer / winter tire change-over and one of the summers falls over (face down of course) and gets chipped on three of the spokes. Yes, I am an idiot. The actual chips are pretty small (1-2 mm) but I will definitely have to get it fixed. Is there anything I can do without painting the entire rim?

 

I've heard clear fingernail polish will keep it from getting worse.

 

Go to a hobby shop and get the Tamiya acrylic paint. The paint number is X11 Chrome silver. That color match up the SSR or the Oem CL rims pretty good. I used that to touch up my rims and the paint is still good after 2 winter of snow driving.

 

Hey, thanks for the tip - I'll check it out.

Chrome silver??? We're talking 03 rims. I wouldn't call 03 rims chrome.

 

The SSR GT1s are much lighter than the stock rims (more silver than grey); I can't see one paint doing both but like the concept of finding some form of touch-up paint.
