My Fiance just rubbed a curb with our new IS 250 with the front wheel. The scratch is along the outer rim of the wheel. It is pretty deep and scuffed up. Wondering if theres anyway to have that polished out or fixed somehow?

Any suggestions, please.

Thanks everyone

I purchased a 2001 GS430 this past fall and it had 5 (including the spare) badly scuffed rims. I found at least 4 websites that described how to do your own repairs, either on or off the car, with the tire either mounted or dismounted.

In a nutshell, just use a dremel tool to lightly grind down the high edges of the scuffs and scratches. Sand. Fill with bondo. Sand. Paint. Sand. Lacquer. Done.

I did all the wheels off the car, but left the tires on and they look great (I'll try to send pictures)

Check out these links to how-to pages...good luck!
