Curb rash what should i do?
I have 2 Rota Torque wheels in titanium chrome that have some pretty bad curb rash. They are not repairable should I live with it or just get 2 new wheels?

looks ok to me, except for the rim edge.
why not just touch up the entire rim edge perimeter black and it will blend into the tire? |

I would just leave it.. If you must fix it though
Sand it, mask it off, paint with dupli color chrome from an auto parts store. That will probably blend it the best.

That is the main reason that I HATE the "stick out" look.
It makes zero sense (to me) to have anything but rubber "sticking out". That way it takes a fairly major "brush" with a curb to get rash. |

Learn to know where your wheels are, you'll never curb them again
