I think this isn't something new but just wanted to share with you guys anyway. So I had my rims scratched against the curb few weeks ago, heart damn pain but oh well, shit happens and I kind of like this rim style, so I didn't feel the need to change it.



As I look around for solution to fix the curb rashes I came across a rims repairing shop in Bandar Sri Damansara near Public Bank. I asked the tech guy and to explore my options.

1. He can get the scratched area fixed. Not 100% but hardly noticeable unless you go real near to see it.

2. Skimming that can give the wheel a surface polished look to create the dual tone color.

The second option interested me and I always find the stock silver color to be somewhat dull and don't compliment the brake caliper all that much so I went ahead with it, gloss black with machine polished surface. This is the result.

Before:


After:


Total damage was Rm500. If repair and touch up it would be about RM100+.

Honestly speaking, I love how the polished surface looks but at the same time makes me appreciate the original look as well. If I didn't scratch the rims, I will keep the stock look. Then again, makes me smile whenever I look at the wheel and caliper as the black wheel exaggerate the caliper's size and color hahaha
