My sympathys m8.The sound of alloy rim versus curb is truly a sickening one!May need a refurb but will be worth it if the wheels are so new :cry:

TBH i think it around 50 per wheel then you gota get the tyre off and then back on..so what 60 quid? -------no chance,i got 5 kids to feed! (joke)

Ive just been out there filing it down smooth round the curbed bits then a bit of wet'n'dry so it basically smooth to the touch..im sure i can find something to make em look like they were before..

some sorta touch up..have to look in Halfruads

chipsaway would be able to sort this rather than paying for the whole wheel to be refurbed
