Curb Rash Black Wheels

Lots of good advice here. If the metal has deep scratches use any of the methods you’d like but do 2 or 3 light coats to fill in the scratches. You’ll notice it every time you drive it.

Gloss black nail polish seems to do the job for me every time. But that's because I'm very cautious about curb rash, and tend to make wider right turns.

Yeah I don’t even know where it came from. The tire wasn’t even scuffed. I knew it was a risk with these rims… the profile of the 22” gmc rim and tire sidewall is such that this was bound to happen. Never scuffed a rim in my 20+ years of driving.

Curb heights vary, so there's no safe sidewall height regardless. The only thing that might save grace is having a wide tire on a narrow rim. At least the curb will hit the tire before the rim. But even then, you run the risk of blowing out the tire... either way, you can't win.
