I have two small scratches on my rims, probably half an inch or so. Are there shops or technicians that can "fix" rim scratches? Are they pretty expensive?
I'm not sure if it will work for any metal/alloy rim, but minor surface abrasions can be machined out and then buffed out. The ones in this picture look deep enough, although not very deep, to not be able to be buffed out.

Just got back from the dealership and they ordered me a new set of wheels. Most likely they will simply send out my old rims to be chromed and they will end up making money out of a screw up. Gotta love dealerships!

Grats. I wish someone in Hawaii has the tires you have on so I can hear the road noise difference. Its quiter than the Maxima I had, but since I don't know how quiet its supposed to be, I dont want to goto the dealer and mention about road noise.
