Hi all,

 

I ran the curb slightly and scraped some of the metal off one of the wheels. I was wondering if it would be easy to fix this problem.

 

Thanks.

Think you can get DIY stuff to repair this from halfords although I've never used it myself. When a couple of blokes that we're helping me bump start mine jammed my wheels into a kerb I just had them redone at a wheel specialist though, think it cost £50 but they came back perfect.

Thanks mate. Will call around to the local specialists tomorrow morning. Nothing much I can do on a Sunday afternoon. I don't think we have a store called Halfords in Cape Town :) But I will check at the hardware stores.

what finish is on the part of the wheel that got damaged?

 

if its bare aluminium, or clear coated, you can smooth it down yourself with a block and some wet and dry

The wheels are painted gold, and the paint scaped off in the parts that got damaged.
