you'd have to smooth out the surface so that there are no low spots. -- i rock. Posted By: 94firechicken On: 05-13-2008 @ 01:47:27 Reply | Top | Edit so basically you sand and file the rim untill there is no rash? how can you remove that much material and not have it look wierd? -- 94 formula, turning into a trans am freshly built and stalled (custom 3200) 4l60e, Loudmouth, Tuning by troy (needs more) T/A hatch, rear bumper, sideskirts, front bumper. soon to be Viper Steel grey.

i actually use a dremel tool to get the actual ridges of the rash out ( the sharp parts) which leaves a kind of valley in the rim. then get some low grit sandpaper and get to work by hand. your basically going to sand 3 inches or so in each direction of the rash which will make the valley disappear to the naked eye...and anyone actually feeling the rim wont notice because it is a gradual slope versus a chunk missing. -- i rock.

yup. thatll do it! i put a flat element (metal wood whatever)between the hammer and the wheel so you have a square surface to hit -- i rock.
