Default Curbing!

So Ive had my rims for over a year, and the other day while i was pulling out of the stupid bank, I curbed my right front rim, and put 3 huge scratches on each spoke thing! I have HP RACING XES 17" Silver Coated rims, and i was wondering if anybody knew if there is any kind of touch up paint or anything that would fix that?? Because i cant stand to look at the ugly scuff marks!

In Ukraine there are services that repair alloy rims. They weld it if needed. They repair cracks, broken lips.

I think same service should be in US.

Paint prolly won't ever match perfectly man, I'd take them and try to get them repaired. if it's only one rim, get a replacement. Prolly the cheapest route. Many rims can't be repaired because of the way they are made. Keep that in mind.

I've had my Konig Traffiks on for well over a year now, not one scrape or anything.

There are places that can repair some rims but like redz said it would probably be cheaper to jsut get a replacement
