Our 2004 Aero Wagon came with 2 Curb Rashed Wheels.. Posted by TonyJ [Email] (#407) [Profile/Gallery] (more from TonyJ) on Thu, 22 Jan 2009 20:29:37 In Reply to: Curb Rashed Wheels, Rogerhs, Thu, 22 Jan 2009 19:31:28 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
although it also came with 2 rebuilt replacement wheels, I didn't use them until fall when I bought a set of Nokian WR g2 - great in snow and all around. Meanwhile, I was embarrassed to have the badly-disfigured right-side wheels, so did the following: cleaned each wheel with wax remover (body shop supply item), filled the gouges with spot patch putty, jacked up each wheel so it can be turned by hand, masked all around the rubber, sanded with progressively finer sandpaper ending up with 400 grit, painted with spray can primer, wet sanded more, then finished with silver wheel spray can paint from NAPA. They appeared as good as new unless you looked very closely.
