Hey, my 2006 350Z has scraped or scrached wheels from parking too close to the curb I bought it that way. Any ideas on how to fix this? It just takes away from the "LOOKS". I don't think it affects the driving. I priced new wheels and the dealers prices are $700 per wheel. No way on that!

I had the same problem but it was just me not payin attention when i should have, But after it was scratched i felt the same way you did so i looked into it and found a really good guy who fixes alloy wheels. I called him up and met him in a parkinglot although that sounds funny he was very profesional and did a great job he just took off the rim and worked on it with some liquid metal for about an hour and when he got it back on the car you could never tell there was anything ever wrong with it. It ended up being about 100 dollars maybe a little bit more but it was still alot better than buying a new wheel. Im not sure about where you live but i bet if you looked into it you could find a guy like this, just make sure hes well qualifed before you let him mess with your wheels though.

I have a big scratch on one of my wheels that i've been meaning to get fixed...I called a local dealer in my area, and it only costs roughly between $100 and $150 to fix. Here's their website:
