Default Any way to fix curb rash?

I bought my ws6 with slight curb rash on almost every wheel. It's not bad at all. but i'm a perfectionist and it still drives me crazy. What can I do about it?

Also what is the best way to polish the stock ws6 wheels?

A file and sandpaper for the rash. The wheels have a clear coat paint on them, so just polish like you would the paint on a car.

I guess I will be nice and find the thread for you.

Edit: here ya go. The thing is, you can't really polish them because there is a coating on them. So, if you want to polish them you have to strip them and then polish them. Nice Saturday project.

The pics are gone now but they looked very nice after stripping and polishing.

Yeah i found that but I was just wondering if there is a way to shine up the clear coat they have now.

So is there a write up or anything on how to file and sand curb rash?
