Most of us love having the biggest wheels possible on our BMWs. However, along with 20-23" sized wheels, some problems might occur, like banging them against the curb and scratching them beyond recognition sometimes.
Fixing such problems might set you back a couple of bucks but here's our blog to the rescue with a quick and easy DIY, as usual.

Of course, this guide will fix small dents and not big holes in your rims or uneven ones. It will, however, repair badly scratched wheels. The hardest thing to do is take off the wheels, and that says a lot about its difficulty.

You'll need Bondo/body filler, 1Z Silver Spray Wheel Paint (Exact match to factory European alloys), Wurth High Gloss Clear Lacquer, 100 grit sand paper, 220 grit, and 400 grit, news paper, and of course your curbed wheels.

Once everything is gathered around you, follow the steps listed here and you'll be saving quite a lot of money. Of course, we're guessing that this guide can be used for other types of wheels too, but we're showing it to you, using BMW's own rims. Good luck!
