Hey, all.
Over the 4 years I've had my WRX, I've had a couple of unfortunate runins with curbs. There's a few inches of scarring on the wheel rims.
I gather that I could take them into the shop, and have them 'turned', or machined, to clean off the scrape marks, but am curious if there are any 'home-brew' remedies for such problems. Maybe taking a Dremel and a fine stone wheel to the area???

Plenty of people have polished/machined their own 'lips', sandblasted and painted, etc. their wheels. You could even practice on a bent one from a wrecking yard if you wanted. You might also shop around for OEM takeoffs from people upgrading. You might be surprised how cheap you could get some with little or no curbrash. (hopefully much less than yours have)
Check the marketplace/4sale forum at
good luck

Hadn't even thought of that. Nice one! ;-)
