Slipped off a rock. Wheel scratch.

[targetpanic]

I had my front tire on a rock last night and it kicked off to the side. Any ideas to cover up this scratch? These are the Gray Built to Serve 20” rims. Trust me, I’m sure it will see worse During hunting season, but it’s only a month old!

If it doesn't catch your finger nail you could probably pull the tire and wheel off and see if you can clean it up really good and polish it out? It doesn't seem too deep in pictures.

It's not deep. Do you have a compound you would recommend? and what type of cloth? I put some wax on it and rubbed it a little with a microfiber cloth. Definitely helped hide it

Try this. It works pretty good for minor scratches on clear:

Leave that alone. it'll get much more fun after a while so things like that won't bother you. If it helps that's really nothing to worry about. Lol honestly.

When you get new tires go up a size on the sidewall

Yeah...this is the first truck I've had with 20" rims. Definitely not enough rubber on the sidewall!

Now they are putting 22"s on some models, craziness!
