fixing rims
ok today i was driving and some idiot pulls over into my lane for no appearnt reason i had to stop so fast my brakes locked up and my rear end slid into the curb on the drivers side and bagned the lip of my wed sports pretty bad , and i was wondering if any of u guys have any suggestions as to fix this without going to a rim place (i cant afford that for now). i heard that i could sand down the scraces wich appears to work ok for a temp solution. any tips or suggestions would help thanx
