Crap - I just scratched my Vicenza alloys.

[cru22z]

I hate city car parks..it's so narrow my back rims got scratched going around those swirly parking garage. Anyone know a place that repairs machined polish alloys in Sydney. Or better yet any DIY tips. I don't want to put on the new reserve just in case that gets screwed as well.

Bummer

It would be pretty obvious too on those wheels...

Hope it works out...

Yep, that is a bummer...

Mate, google is your friend, type in 'Alloy wheel repair Sydney'...

Just did some google search and followed one DIY tips and guess what I managed to remove the scratch not 100% but not enough to be seen from close unless u look very carefully. The lip has clear coating however I was able to remove the scatch by sanding down using 800>1200>2000 grit then polish then wax

You need to check out www.rimskins.com I've had them on mine for 2 years now. Perfect for the missus and they're very discreet.

Thanks. I'm not sure if this will work on the vizencas coz the lip of the rim is not that wide

Did you try rimskins? Hoping they work(ed) on Vicenzas since I'm getting same.

[cru22z]

Nope I used 1500 and then 2000 grit wet sand paper
And some metal polish and car polish sealant and it now
Looks like nothing ever happened to it.
My wife did it much worse trying to avoid a truck turning she humped the centre island and even manage to crack the tire wall and I
Repeated the same process with the
Wet sand paper and all good again
