RE: Let's see your shine!

yes, unfortunately there is a fair amount of kerbing on the current rims.
parking can sometimes be a little more hurried than i would like, and this car spends 95% of its time navigating Central London.

i'm looking for some pristine used 16" rims of the same 8-hole design at present so dropping £200 on refurbishment is not really an option.

besides, they're not original MB rims, but German replicas made by Aludil. i paid £65 for the set off eBay 2 yearsa ago...

good job many tyres come with Rim Protection nowadays!

any ideas on a quick and easy touch-up job (it really is just the very outer edge that's kerbed, and there are no dents or flat spots) ?
