Thank you very much for making these videos. I only found your channel this week and already you have inspired me to try your methods on multiple tasks. Your smart remedies to small issues obviously result in keeping things in fine condition. Your cars look great!

Phenomenal work Tim. You've made yet another video showing a simple, easy solution to a problem I didn't know I could fix! Also, it might be prudent to always include a link to the BMW side of Meeknet in the description (if traffic there is beneficial).

Good to see you adding more content to your channel. Lots of good advice. Might get around to doing mine although my damage is a lot worse.

When I got my MPars they were pretty badly curbed, I did a similar process to take off the rough parts. I had polishing stones on my angle grinder. I wish there was a better way to blend the fixed parts and the existing painted part of the wheel.

What wheel style is that

After taking off some of the metal, do you need to re-balance the wheel?

@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation

Not unless you take large lumps off - the wheel alloy is pretty light!

Another great video, would it be a good idea to have the wheel rebalanced afterwards? I have an E63 would love to see this technique on those ellipsoid wheels, thanks again Tim

Thanks Douglas! With the amount I took off on the E31 balancing would not be a bad idea, but the E64 didn't need much at all and would be fine.

Did you forget where you are Timm? It's kerb and tyre. Lol And I'd rather watch grass grow besides my current wheels are chrome so I avoid the curb like a virus. I had wheels like that on my 530i. I really like them.

Hello Enrique, the first time I did this I re-applied lacquer, but on all subsequent repairs I haven't and there has been no corrosion after many years - the alloy stays bright and polished.

Hang on, aren't those wheels painted? have you not just effectively polished off the paint around the rim?

@TimmsBMWRepairsandInformation

No, they are a polished alloy and the finish is identical after this work as it was before.

What finish is that on the lips. Is it diamond cut

But those wheels are clear-coated. I guess the repaired part will age differently without the clear-coat panted on.
