*pics*my maya rt5's need your HELP PLEASE!! rash and dents. repair in sc and opinions

hello.
i need to reapair my four wheels. what would you recommend, i appreciate your opinion
-polish lip (dont have time to clean)
-clear coat the lip (might chip)
-or chrome the lip. (might suck)
i am leaning more towards chroming the lip.

i was driving to san diego for my plugs and plenum spacer install and i got a flat. completely ruined my rear driver side so'3 and wheel. as i was merging to the right my rim got dented. a day before i had hit the fattest pothole in history in downtown. so two dents on my good rims and rash on my other two. withing no time. i am so bummed, besides the wheels i need new rear tires. ouch.

anyone recommed and shops in la.
thanks guys, hopefully done before the duarte meet.

I used to have the same problem with S03's (f*ckin tires) No matter how often I got a wheel alignment they always worn on the inside. I am sorry to hear about what happened but when you get it fixed stay aways from SO3'S!!

Yup I know someone that was havin the same problem with the S03's. Definitely be wary of that tire and wearing on the inside, its infamous for it. Good luck with the rims.

F****

well. thanks to you guys my confidence in chroming the lips is waaay up. i will be taking them to a shop that my brothers buddy owns, just to see if they are good or not. as for the so3s i really liked them. another problem is that i ordered a new set for the rear at work today . .. next time ill see which ones i should go for, reason i am in a hurry to put my wheels back on is cause i am getting my car tunned finally at either brainstorm or churchs this week .. hmm other exciting news are that ill be getting my camber kit soon for the rear, hotchkins sways, and probaly a smaller belt for my vortech cause the squaking is driving me insane. ill post pics when all is well and done. please still leave info on the repairs. thanks again.
