A-spec Rim Repair

I was wondering if any of you guys have any experience with repairing your A-spec rims. I curbed a rim today and I'm kind of pissed.

I was planning on selling these so I could put my 20's on that have sitting in my garage for the last 3 months. I know I'll probably take a hit on the resale value if I try to sell them curbed, so I'm thinking about getting them repaired. Any insight would be appreciated.

If you EVER figure out how to get a rim fixed like that which has been curbed and it NOT look cheezy....let me know....cause I have like 3 extra rashed rims in my garage that are chome look A-Specs. If they are bent on the inside edge..they can be fixed...otherwise....the look is cheezy at best.

Ok, i'm not the only dumb ass hitting curbs , this is the first time I've curbed a rim.

So I guess i'm gonna have to live with the damage. Also, the other day I noticed a black mark on my rims. I thought it was only dirt or something, but after examination I realized the coating on the rims had been chipped and was peeling. That also sucks

I guess it's finally time to stop procrastinating and put on my 20's.

Chrome look rims here....that wont work. But...red acryl putty is an interesting fix to the painted solution no doubt. If you are painted...I might try it before dumping the rim or making bachelor coffee tables out of em!
