I had a blow out today doing 80 mph on the highway. Anyone know how to get rubber marks off paint? When the tire was comng off the rim it slapped the side of my car a few times. My stock chrome 17 inch rim was thrashed! Maybe time for some wheel???????????

i'm glad you're ok.

bug remover with wax after should take off the rubber marks. if you need one brand new 17" chrome wheel with bridgestone 235/45/17 tires, pm me.

 

Glad to see that you are ok. Im sure the rubber marks will buff off. Thankfully that is the only damage to the car

 

Glad to here your ok. Did you hit something in the road or were your tires worn out?

 

man sorry to hear that

but yeah you should be able to buff the marks out no problem

 

I think a metal rod that I hit on the highway caused it. It happened about 30 minutes after that. I was pleased that Lexus makes access to the spare very easy and that the trunk tools were very aqequate to get the job done. I appreciate everyones comments about my saftey. I am glad my wife and kids were not in the car!

 

buff the mark out and use the full size spare!! got whatever rims for spare (gs 16' or so)
