Reparing a wheel

I was wondering if there are any companies out there that can repair the lips on aluminum wheels, one of my wheels has some curb rash on the outer lip... and i want to rid if of that. How much would this service cost as well? Thanks

Re: Reparing a wheel

Well I shall reply to myself just incase anyone is interested. As stated above I had some curb rash on one of my TT2's. It was enough that it ticked me off seeing polished smooth turn to jagged mess. I went out and purchased a $3.77 3 pack of emory cloth at home depot. It had coarse, medium, and fine in the pack. I basically just started sanding where the damage was. Took about 2 hours and went from the coarse to medium to fine. As it sits now you can barely tell that anything happend. I need to get some super fine so it looks just right and then finish polishing. I will add some before and after shots if anyone is interested. It looks almost new even now!
