just yesterday i noticed on my front wheel i have 4 small dings probably from pebbles or something. is there any way of repairing or covering up these dings with some chrome touch up or something. there not very noticable but i dont want anything to get deep in there and start eating away my nice wheels. thanks

Nope, if you use any kind of touch up chrome, it will look even worse.

Thats the reason i didn't buy chrome on this last set of wheels. I got tired of taking care of them..washing/polishing etc and they still get scratches and pitt marks so i went with painted wheels.

you cant see mine unless your up close washing them so when i go to wash them yeah. mine are gashes from a wreck so those WONT come out unless theres filler but then it would look like crap. i want to pick up a pair of saleen rims but most of those are chrome. i wonder if they have polished silver like the ones i have now but saleen? do they?
