Need some info to help out a buddy!

Have a friend who (who is not a member of the Forum yet) but bought an '05 SSr a few months ago and scratched one of his OEM chrome wheels.
He called me asking what I thought his options might be....I told him that I would post his question on the Forum for him.
Can anyone help me out here with some advice?

If the scratch isn't too deep you can get it rechromed but it likely won't match the others if they are OEM chrome, there is a slight difference in aftermarket chroming, it goes further into the wheel. Maybe send in 2 to get rechromed so you have the same look on one side.

The only other thing to do is to buy another one ......

Mike, did you buy it from your local Dealer? Would you mind sharing what it cost you?

Curb rash -- do you have to get shots for that?!?! What am I laughin' about -- I got it too, and I haven't been around you!
