How can I fix a scuffed passenger rear wheel?
I scraped my rear passenger wheel. It's not too bad, but I would like to clean it up. Looking for some ideas. Thanks!

I dont think you can, not feasibly alyways. I bought a used CL-S with a few scuffs. I looked into fixing them and it comes out to about $200 a piece. I have scuffs on three of my wheels, so I'd rather save the money and buy the TL A-SPEC wheels instead, for about an additional $200.

Ask your dealership. Mine here In IL, did two of my rims for a hundred apiece. They have a guy that specializes in fixing aluminum rims and comes right to the dealership to do it. He sands down the rim repolishes it and gives it a quick reclearcoat. Which now after a year and a half just started to peel alittle in one spot. There are also places on the web to buy refinished oem rims for 200 bucks.

If it's an '01 or '02 wheel you can sand it down. just use finer grits until you get it smooth the polish it. Won't be perfect but it will look much better than a scrape.
