Scratch on Lip

I was installing my Volk SF Challenge rims on my car today and I accidently dropped one of the lugs while unscrewing it. There is a very small scratch/dent in the lip. Any advice to better it?

Unfortunately not. I did the same thing with my wheel lock. You will have to have someone refinish it. IMO, just live with it. You're going to get much more just driving aroung.

yeah.. you pretty much have to pay someone to refinish it..

to be honest, it's gonna be real hard to keep the rims in MINT condition.. i know some have, but i freakin' curbed my rims the second day after i put them on.. freakin' psychotic parking at the malls during x-mas time.. anyways, not to jinx you, but just live with it cause most likely, you'll get a scratch from just driving around and hitting rocks..

i agree, just live with it. the lip's are anodized clear coated. it's going to be pricey to fix, and most wheel repair shops don't like fixing those types. and yes, you will get more imperfections just driving around.
