Embracing curb rash with a grinder?

[ElectriCinCin]

The curb rash on my 18" aero wheels is extensive. I'm seriously thinking about just using a grinder to make the whole wheel rim a consistent level of scuff.
Anyone else tried this? Thoughts?

Why not just get it repaired? If it's that damaged, get a replacement.

I damage mine...then I paint it....then I damage it again...then I paint it again...and this is with me trying to be careful. The lip on the aero wheels just sticks out too far relative to the tire.

To the OP’s point, I’ve wondered if you machined that lip that sticks out to be flush with the aero cap, would that stop all the curb rash?

fyi, this is the paint I use: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HE66OK8?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Considered wheel bands?

DIY:

If it is really, really bad:

I just use a Dremel with a sanding drum (after protecting the tire with duct tape) to get rid of the "shrapnel." My protocol is to repair them every time I rotate the tires, and to seek perfection in other aspects of my life.
