Yes, most scratches are in the clear cote, but some curb rash is so deep that you might need to fill it with either a fine filling bondo, or a weld stick. in both cases you have to sand the clear all the way down. So what I would recommend is getting a 3M 220 sand paper pack, and a 3M wet/dry variety pack. First use the 220 dry to sand the clear all the way down. This takes about an hour each rim. after this has been done you will be able to tell how deep the curb rash is,and you can decide what route you want to take.If you decide that the curb rash does not need to be filled in, then you can work your way up the variety pack, i would recommend only wetting the sandpaper at 1000 and above. If you decide to fill in the curb rash you will need to paint your wheel after you have filled in the curb rash, i believe that duplicolor sells different color wheel paint. Hope this helps, if you have any questions feel free to ask!!!

let me see.. so start sanding these with 220 sand paper and that wet/dry variety pack.. i havent seen the rims in person so i dont know how/what type of curb rashes in it.. hopefully no bends on the rim tho, thats wat the guy said.. ill keep yah posted

why not use air craft stripper to get the clear off? it'll save u a few hours of labor

stripper works but it still does not get it all off by the time the can is done u'll be left with little patches of clear that refuses to be lifted by the stripper, so 220g sanding dry is the best opt after stripper unless u wish to drown the rim in stripper.
BTW stripper works best when dry when wet it makes like a paste that can re-dry an be even worse than the original clear, so dont spray stripper when wet only dry.
