I did the unthinkable when you ahve rims, i hit a curb today. I was turning into a parking lot and a car went to drive out and got very close so i cut the corner tighter in order not to get hit. I ended up barely hitting the curb. I have chrome rims and it chipped off a very small part of the chrome. It is going to drive me crazy!!!! Does anyone know if chrome rims can be repaired???

no, not very easily... you can have the entire thing re dipped in hrome, but that won't fix the broken piece of rim

if you want a reallly cheap fix you can sand it down a little bit and spray on chrome spray paint, if its a small chip itll do good, but youll have to buff the shyat outta it to make it shine
