Son of a.....scratched my wheel Well, I scratched my torque thrust wheel on a curb. I pulled in a crowded parking lot and I thought I had it. I was close but no cigar, it just barely got the rear wheel and I mean barely. It's about a half inch long on the lip by the tire and it took chips out of the wheel. My question is......... I plan on taking a dremel to it but can I polish it back un noticed? You have to be looking for it to see it but it is driving me crazy. I may can post a pic if that would help.

I did the same thing last year on one of my rims. I took it to a local guy who repaired minor scuffs and scrapes. He only charged me $50 and it looked like there was never anything wrong with it. I would look around before I attempted to fix it myself, just my 2cents!

Its a torque thrust 2 wheel. It looks like I can use a dremel and sand it even. Then polish it back ok. I was just looking for suggestions. I took some pics but you can't see anything.

yeah just be careful with the dremel and make sure you dont take too much material out. then wetsand it back out with 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000 1500 and then use some polish on it. should turn out pretty good!
