    Wheels curbed from caliper

    It seems like 3 of my wheels have a circular grinding mark from a brake caliper. I am not sure if it was me or the previous owner but ive had it for a while, just never looked i guess. Can this type of damage be repaired? Does it need to be repaired? It balances out fine.

    If the wheels are balanced and not currently rubbing, it's fine. Perfect example of why people need to make sure they get wheels with an offset (or spacer) such that they clear both the fender and the stuff on the inside like the strut or the caliper (especially for BBK's).

    Well thats good to hear, too bad it was on my 3 piece acs wheels....=(. I cant find any mark on my calipers or anything else so I am assuming it was the previous owner.
