This was a mark from a tire machine. (GRRR, don’t ask) I will say it was NOT swerve. He’s the jam. Anyway, i think this mark is really hurting my sale. It’s not deep, maybe 1/32 at most. I wonder if it can just be polished up, without adding material. I feel like a little polishing would go a long way, but i’m not interested in really doing it alone… ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/wheel4mark1.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/wheel4mark1.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/wheel4mark1close.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v516/ctnewman2/wheel4mark1close.jpg) ---

I’m sure you can take a little material off the edge to hide it, but if someone is looking for it they will see it. x… ---

Precisely why I bought my own machine. Anything is fixable but, it may not be worth the cost. ---

Um, they were insured, but they said that they didn’t do it and the rims were brought in like that, which they were not. But i have no way to prove it. [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/is-this-fixable-wheel-inside/57209.md?page=2)
