Lots of wheels for sale in the Members Classifieds.
I'm not sure if you can fix it without refinishing the whole rim?? |

youd have to send it to a company that does rim repair. It is a two step procees for the Camaro rims.
I took mine to the dealer, they sent my wheel out for repair and gave me a brand new rim they had from when someone swapped for the GM 21" rims... Might wanna try that.

That looks like the same exact scratch mine had. For a minute I though you had taken a picture of my car lol.. What I did was took some regular sand paper and kinda grinded it down, not a lot just enough to get the jagged part of the scratch off. Then I went to Wal-Mart and got a can of spray paint. It was called Rust Oleum Bright Coat Metallic Finish. I look at it and it was called Alluminum. So I got it. Went home used some painters tape to mask off the rim and tire around the area, while leaving the scratch visible. Sprayed it let it dry for about 5 minutes, came back out and you couldn't even notice it. It was right above the Air plug thing lol. If you have any more questions let me know.

if you want it to not be as noticeable then you could get a hard sponge with soap and water and just rub it, its not gonna fix it but will help it look a little better.

When I had my wheels powder coated they fixed a ding just like that in my wheels. Only cost about $50 but then again I was already paying for the powder coating so they may have given me a nice discount. You really don't need to buy all new wheels
