Hey guys I got into a curb a little bit with a CCW. Can anyone post a repair method to fix curb rash. Does anyone know if CCW would repair this or is it a easy home repair.

Pictures would help. Sometimes a slight rash can be sanded out and re polished, but usually not. What kind of CCW wheel is it? If it's a three-piece design (Classic, LM20, etc) you can just call CCW and give them the specs of your wheels (size, width, backspace) and they can send you a new outer shell, and you can take apart and reassemble the wheel yourself. One new shell would be much cheaper than replacing the whole wheel.

LOL "curved". I had my wife type this post up while I was on the road, I guess she didn't understand what I was saying.
Anyway I curbed a wheel pulling into a bank today, I didnt see that the curbs where so narrow. This sucks I have kept these wheels in perfect condition for 4 years now.
Its not to bad and looks like it could be sanded out, I just need to figure out what materials and method I need to make the repair or at least improve it.

I'll get some up tomorrow hopefully. Still waiting on my 315/35/17 mt's.
Can't really afford that right now. It doesn't bother me too much. Was just gonna see if I could possibly repair it myself or make it somewhat better.

for the rest of you this was my process:
1: started with 180 grit on a da sander just to knock down the heavy scuffs
2: moved to 320 grit on the da till 180 scratches were gone
3: wet sanded by hand with 400
4: wet sanded with 800
5: wet sanded with 1200
6: wet sanded with 2000
7: polished to a shine with bling masters
NOTE: DO NOT USE A DA SANDER ON THE BARREL, ONLY THE RASHED EDGE AND MAKE SURE TO KEEP IT FLAT AND ON A LOW SPEED. SAND BARREL BY HAND.
DO NOT USE A HAND SANDER IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT.
IF YOU TRY THIS AND SCREW IT UP I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE.
