Question about Stainless steel lip inserts.

Does anybody know if they can be replaced or repaired?

Somehow my lip insert got dented and cant figure out how

Can the lip insert be removed and the actual lip be polished?

My wheels like many others do not have chrome lips. They are Stainless steel inserts.

I really cant think of any other way to explain it.

MIA LEX, check out the thread I started in the tirerack section for more insight...

Had wheels like that on my Benz. Check with the manufacturer or your local wheel shop.The manufacturer advertised that the lip was replacable in its ads. Good luck----------LJ
