Minor curb rash - Gemini wheels

[HeyEph]

Got too close when parallel parking.

I know I can take them to a pro, but is there ANY over the counter product that will cover this minor rash?

You're lucky that these are just hub caps.

 

[HeyEph]

Wrong. That's on the wheels.

Its clearly the wheel, not the caps...

Get a fine grit sandpaper or sanding block to smooth it out a bit. Then cover with silver automotive wheel touch up paint. Easy to find via google. Should match well!

I've already had to clean up rim rash,very similar. Take 100 grit wet or dry paper then finer paper down to 400 grit or finer. Really did not need paint. Remove the aero covers first.

Can these be used on the Gemini wheels if you apply them, then put the caps back on?

Rim Savers (only $79 w/ 20% discount)

Does anyone know HOW this is applied?

Aren't you worried about rust?

I read horrible things about these. They will sometime fly off due to sticky loosing its stickiness overtime. Look into alloygotor.

"Honey I have to send the damaged wheels to get powder coated. It only comes in matte black powder. I hope you're okay with that."

Or you could do what I do: leave it be and not feel as bad about the next time it happens.

Nope, not with this'll alloy

I was told every time you replace tires or remove the rim they have to be replaced. Just a FYI
