Someone had a posting w/ pics on here about repairing curb rash on a rim. I've looked all over and can't find it. Anyone know where it is? Thanks for your help.

its in the exterior section, before we had 'wheels n tires' I'll try to do a search. JimC64 started it IIRC, that might help the advanced search parameters.

Innovative Detailing did a video in his detailing area using some fancy machine work, but the principle is the same too...let me go see if I can round up a couple links.

If you don't want to mess with it yourself visit Ye Ole Wheel Shop in Elkridge, MD. Wheel repair is all these guys do and they've been in business for longer than I can remember. I've yet to take them a wheel they couldn't fix.
