Repairing Wheels from Road Rash
I just bought some used 2k C5 Corvette Wheels off a guy, and I knew that they weren't in pristine condition, but for the price I couldn't beat the deal.
Anyways, so I get down and dirty with the wheels today and I noticed that there is a slight ammount of road rash on one of the wheel spokes, it isn't deep, doesn't even seem like it has penetrated the actual metal.
Just curious if anyone has any suggestions on what I could do to cover it up or to make it look nice and purdy
There is also a pretty serious scratch (figures... on the same wheel) where a retard putting the wheels on the car they used to be on put the tire weight on the outside, so it is scratched up. Any suggestions on what to do with this... it will also be appreciated.
Thanks,

Any Estimates or Suggestions on where to check out getting them re-coated?
Also... Do you know of any companies besides skulte that makes spacers to fit C5 Vette Rims on a thirdgen?
