I have a sc430 with the pie shaped wheels, and the rims have scratches along the edges from the retard who drove it before me. Anyways, I want to conceal or fix these scratches and don't have the money it will take to get the rims redone. So, I was wondering if someone knew of some paint I could use to touch up the edges, that way, atleast the scratches are not black and will be less noticible. Or, if there's a cheap fix, than that'll work too. The rims are not chrome, they are polished silver. I've included a pic below that I just took, it's the worst scratch... THANKS!

Touch them up with silver auto paint and a small brush. To send away for repairs would out weigh the value of the wheel.

Your local Lexus dealer likely has someone they recommend (or even retain to come in once per week to their service area) that fixes curb rash. Ask them next time you go in.

I've had it fixed on mine and my GF's both and you can't really even tell any longer.

how much did it cost and how long did it take them? closest lexus to me is 2 hrs away!

About 30 - 60 minutes depending on the damage. Think cost was $50 - $100 range

You can do a search for 'wheel repair' 'wheel refinishing' 'wheel doctor' etc and likely find someone closer. Or call another luxury car place (our local Acura dealer also had them) and ask as well.

yeah usually it's around 100 bucks

Yeah, Dave has a good suggestion. My dealer has a guy come in every Thursday. He charges about $30-$40 per wheel depending on how bad the rash is. It's a nice alternative to having the entire rim refinished, especially if you don't have the $$.
