When you're off-roading in your Tacoma, FJ Cruiser, or 4Runner, it's almost impossible to avoid rock rash on your rims. A single brush against a sharp rock can leave unsightly gouges and scratches that not only look bad but can also weaken the structural integrity of your wheels over time.
If you want to keep your wheels looking sharp, there are ways to fix or cover up the damage—without breaking the bank. Here are two effective methods:
**1. Fill Gouges with Putty**
One popular option is to use wheel putty to fill in the damaged areas. The process involves:
- Using a rotary tool to smooth out any rough edges or burs.
- Applying a high-quality putty filler into the gouges.
- Letting the putty dry completely before sanding it down with 400-grit sandpaper.
- Painting the area with a matching paint color.
- Finishing with 1500–2000 grit sandpaper for a smooth, even finish.
While this method can work well, it’s important to note that the results may not be perfect. The putty might not always match the original surface texture, and painting can sometimes show slight color differences. However, if done carefully, it can make a big difference in appearance.
**2. Apply Rim Trim**
Another great solution is to use rim trim. This is a thin, durable strip that adheres to the edge of your wheel, effectively hiding minor damage along the lip. The installation is simple:
- Clean the rim’s edge with an all-purpose cleaner.
- Wipe it down again with rubbing alcohol or wipes to ensure a strong bond.
- Apply the trim according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
- Allow it to cure for at least 24 hours before driving.
Rim trims come in a variety of colors, including red, yellow, silver, white, and black. Black is a popular choice if you just want to hide the damage without drawing attention. They’re easy to install and provide a quick, stylish fix for minor scratches.
