If you are going to stick with stock 20's, why don't you get rid of the flower pedals and go with the newer style stock 20's?

teach have you had to touch up your rims? I have some chip marks from when they put new tires on and removed the weights. I was lightly sand down mine, throw a new coat of black and clear and call it a day. Or should I just spot repair? I want the color to look even so wasnt sure if that would work.

I am coming up on one year since I painted my rims and have not had to do any touch ups yet. Thought about what I would do if I did have to do a repair and decided that I would rough up the surface and repaint the whole thing if I ever had to do any kind of repair on them. I think a spot repair would probably show compared to the unrepaired portion.

I agree, wow a entire year and problems thats awesome. Unfortunately the f'ers that put my new tires on scraped the **** out of them, I figured there would be a few spots, but in some places it is pretty bad.

I had a shop that did that to one of my wheels on my old truck. They ended up buying me a new wheel to replace it bc they dug out a chunk of metal from the rim.

that sucks, on mine they just took the paint off, its just a pain to take them off, and start the process again. Time consuming as you know.
