Gen6 My rims are scraped...
well, the other day i let a friend of mine take my car around the block because he was interested in a Camry. As he parked it he hit the curb, and scratched up my rim.

Its not really that bad, but i have ocd and it will drive me crazy every time i look at the rim. Is there any way to fix it?

If you pull the tire off of the rim, it is pretty easily filed and smoothed with sandpaper on the lip. mask off the area and spray it with rattle can clear and it will disappear.

Oh, and DON'T let other people drive your car!

there are some people that specialize in repairing wheels like this.

Search online and you should find someone.
I have seen these guys turn lightly damaged wheels to a like new condition.

I personally say leave it. Sooner or later, you'll scratch it yourself. If you have OCD, shouldnt you also be cleaning it constantly and making it clean?
