My poor poor wheels...

Hello all!

My much-loved '99 Sei Abarth has the original gorgeous Abarth alloys, but years of learning to drive and park has made its mark on them. Or rather - has made lots of marks. Kerb damage on the lips of the front wheel rims is pretty severe. The wheels themselves are fine, its just the lip below the tire.

I would love a solution here and I'm open to anything - be it fixing them somehow (presumably file and polish) or some sort of wheel rim guard which would hide the damage... or anything I haven't thought of!

All ideas welcome. I'd prefer to avoid having to buy new alloys, and may eventually end up with steels and nice 'caps if it comes to it (how would this affect the handling?).

Many thanks as always to the clever clever people that run this wonderful site

Simon
