Hello guys,
the other night I went to arbys to get a sandwich, as I am driving to the drive thru there is this F#$#@# sidewalk... I didn't see that untill I hit my wheel, because I waas trying to get close to the window..(arbys should pay for a new wheel)
so now my wheel has like a 4 inch scratch just on the very edge of the wheel, is there a way to take the scratch out ??
sand the wheel buffed or what can I do??
any help!! pleasee

would need to see pics to really tell. But from what it sounds like a good wheel refurb repair service should be able to sand, fill (if needed), and paint/color match. Hopefully some members local to you can recc someone close to you. If not, try calling your local bmw dealer, most pre-owned departments and serivce departments keep a few wheel repair services on file....GL, hope you get things resolved, in the meantime...try not to stare at it too much
