Rim scratched.
« on: December 31, 2008, 08:48:35 AM »
I got my new car yesterday 30/12/2009, however not used to the car and got some scratches on my rim when moving up the car park.
SIgh.... Is there any ways to buffer the rim to make it smooth? any workshop to recommend if have?

I've got this contact while I had my previous ride. Though I've never tried before, heard good reviews of their workmanship. Think cost $25 per rim for light scratches. Oh yes, bonus is that the lady boss look like the taiwan singer ah mei. Let us know your comment if you visit them.

Call them up to clarify. Was told that curently they are very busy, and dun do rim polishing for the time being. When asked when can we go down, they said not so soon.

Aiya, thought economy back but look like they are not affected. Pobably rim polishing is a too minor job for them to earn, tan bo bak. Sorry to mislead you.

save the money lah.  Rim scratches are very common and not worth spending 25 dollars when the bloody cheapo rim itself cost less than 80 at most. After a while you will get used to it.

Hi, no pt repair the rim.  You may upgrade your rim or change to a lighter rim when u change your tyre later
so just bear with it first
cheers
