I hit a curb today going pretty slow with my car and I got some pretty nasty curb rash. I have 18X9 bullitts (black with the chrome lip) and where the rash happened is right where the lip meets the tire. There are a few deeper gouges (not too too deep). How can I clean it up to help hiding it? And does anyone know if the Bullitts actually have a chrome lip or a polished lip? Any info would be wicked since this ruined my day. Thanks.

They are probably a polished lip with a clear coat over it, and not chrome. I would call a mobile wheel repairman. They will have to re coat it with clear coat after they are done though... not sure if they do that mobile or if you have to drop the wheel off.

I can't say I've ever heard of a "mobile wheel repairman."
