Fixing damage to a chrome wheel?
I know when you get curb rash on a standard silver finished wheel, shops can either buff it out, or fill it in then buff.

How would one fix curb rash on a chrome wheel?

^ what he said, they usually rechrome it. And some shops have a premium on getting a rim rechromed.

There is no way to fix a curbed chrome wheel without stripping it and rechroming the entire wheel. Don't let anyone tell you different. One of the hazards of chrome wheels.
