Scratched Rims -
 

Just swapped my winter tires for summer tires.

I bought this car used a few months ago. This is the first time seeing the summer tires. The chrome rims are all scratched to s*!@.

Looks like the last owner scrapped along the curb or something. 2002 A4, 1.8T. Stock chrome rims from the Sport package.

Is there a product on the market that can take care of this? Fill the scratches and dry clear, for example?

I remember seeing something like this for leather seats.....

Umm no, but there is a repair kit where you sand it down fill with putty re sand and polish and it looks as good as new :D I am going to fix mine this summer

For DIY, here ya go: DIY wheel repair

A professional job incl. wheel straightening costs approx. $125. per wheel ...

If they're really chrome this isn't going to work - there's no such thing as chrome paint really. But most (stock) alloy rims are a brilliant silver that can be repainted fairly easily, like in Avantquattro's link.

same here. except i'm putting on a another set of wheels i recently bought, so after i fix my oem wheels, i'm probably just going to store them, or maybe sell them, not sure yet.
