I was rive and reaching for something and I hit a crub and scratch my rim pretty good. Is there anything I can do and what are my options? Thanks.

You can get them powder coated if you want that look. I have one rim that has three big scratches now. I think I'm going to keep these rims and tires for the winter and not worry about how beat up they get.

Repair or replace. Since I can't seem to anyone to sell me just one used rim, I may end up repairing. Granted, I haven't tried really hard to find a stock rim.

Repairing should cost in the 80/120$ range.

I got 2 new rims from the dlr for $380.

 

Powder coating is a baked on paint. Looks real nice and HD. You can get just about any color. Not sure on price, check your local autobody shops. I've seen adds in the mag's from several companys also. All said and done it would be cheaper to repair one rim, then to paint four.

Thanks guys...I might just repair it and probably buy another rim in case. MAYBE EVEN buy all 4 and sell the other 3 for people like me in "THE SCRATCH RIM CLUB."

I'm in the club as well. I am going to try to find nice customs that don't protrude futher than the tires and get better rubber as well.
