Yes, depending on how much metal is gone, they reweld more aluminum into the cracks/scrapes. If it needs it, they can re- heat treat the wheel too. If it's not the edge bead, you can just fill it like bodywork and repaint it.

SP Sport W-10 really? My buddy had em on this Civic Si and I could run circles around him. I had 225/45 Comp T/A ZRs back then. Yeah, I picked up a spare wheel when I heard that they were going out of the wheel business. Then soon after that I hit the curb really bady to avoid a accident and ate up the outer lip on one front wheel...

Dave, what actually happens is the inside edge of the tire hits the wheel liner, which causes the bumper ends (where it attaches to the chassis) to flex inwards toward the wheel well, thus touching the outside part of the tire and doing damage.
I've managed to rub big holes through my wheel liners, and now I have no problems w/ rubbing, so the bumper doens't flex inwards now either. I thought the revised liners were only for the rear wells. I don't have a problem back there, its the damn front ones like you said. Was the revised liner for the fronts as well? I'm rubbing a hole through my liner on both pass and driver sides. The inner section of the liner has big rub marks...and I'm on 205/55-16! I want 225's but theres just no way with the rubbing I already have. Help!! Edit: David, are those 17's? They look like E1 style but bigger. I guess you got some of those 17" E1s a while back?  It looks like that 235 fits the wheel very well.

If you rub on 205/55/16's you've got the wrong offset rims. We've got 245/40/16's on Buckshot's car and have no troubles with the front at all. He had to roll the rear fender and bumper support brackets, but that's it.

Thats what bugs me...these are E1 style SVT wheels from a 99 SVT! I would think the offset would be okay for the car. This is weird.

Is the wheelwell liner attached at all of it's mounting points??? There should be a ton of clearance up in front, even at full lock...
