Rock chips on rims!

f2reskies · 04-18-2011, 01:52 PM

So I installed my gunmetal LC818's last week and I absoultely love them but am having a slight issue. I havent even hit a pothole or anything and I notice that the perimiter of the rim is starting to get all these rock chips it looks like that are totally removing the gunmetal finish and leaving white marks. Is there anyway to protect against this and if not, is it possible to have them spruced up mid year and have the gunmetal finish reapplied??

Thanks!

You could try waxing them. And you can always have them powder coated.
