    Default resurfacing rims

    I have some hx's that were given to me and I want to use them. Problem is 3 of the centers have the shit curbed out of them, the lips are all fine. Anyone used something like bondo to do this? I'm tired of these shitty looking steelies.

    The only way it would have been easier is if the tire was removed from the wheel. otherwise it doesn't really matter. It's not like you can paint something laying down with a rattle can so the wheel would have to be sitting upright just like it was still on the car anyways.

    Lol, but there was a step where he had to mask off the whole car because he was afraid of overspray.
