I have a curb rash problem, is there anything I can do to make this look better? I know it won't go away but what can be done to blend it better so its not so noticeable???

touch up paint maybe? if it isn't too deep, you can have it filled in by a local body shop. it's not cheap, i assure you, but it will look much better.

save your money, get lighter and better looking wheels.

Here is an emoticon story of how I usually handle it:

buy some new wheels, use those for the winter time and watch out for the curb next time ... although shit happens so you never know, whether your paying attention or not

She traded in her car for a Durango. Guess this is now kinda moot.

I have been considering doing this for my car, but I think I would be the first to try it from 6club. I haven't had the motivation lately though because I am putting the summer wheels back on the car soon!

Curb Rash is not a funny matter to alloy wheel owners. I did it once and now park it like my life depends on it.

Go to a pro is at least 75 to 100 bucks for a rash even a quarter small.
