    I know this will sound cheap ass hell to you guys with money, but I was thinking of buying a set of 18's from a friend but there are some scuff marks on the rims. Is there a way to repair them? Like lightly grinding and repaint? Also, I have the ES, would I need a new tire sensor

    not too sure how you would repair them other than dipping them back in some melted alloy or something like that, unless they are chrome, then as well you would have to re dip them, if they are not cracked they should be good, while back i bought some rims with a crack in it, then i ended up had to weld them and they were all messed up...

    honestly bondo is not to hard to work with... well that's IMO, cause I learned it @ autobody in high school... but I know it's not to hard to do.... just take your time
