    i repaired my rims gutter rash myself. Get yourself a dremel clone from super cheap for $30, grind and sand until smooth, then touch up with the correct paint. Damn cheaper than gettin profesionally done and you can do it in an afternoon at home with a few beers! IF it is a alloy wim just polish out with some Metal polish, $10 from super cheap.
    Chrome rim you might be screwed and need professional work, but otherwise it is pretty easy

    was thinking of gettin mine repaired, got a set of 17 alloy/powder coated clubby rims that have pretty bad gutter rash and quite a few chips:





    whats the AVERAGE price to repair and respray a set of rims???
    i dont plan on doing it anytime soon, have too many jobs to do at the moment, but thinking of either buying a new set of rims (different design) or just repairing the ones i have.

    P.S- i know the one i have there is a decent looking rim, but the others need quite abit of work. Note the chips around the centre cap/logo

    My rims were $200 to be powdercoated. Depending how bad the gutter rash is, the powder coater might be able to fix them up.

    Place is Steve Wicks and Sons, just across from the drivein.
