Over the years of me having my rs6's they have come into contact with the pavement etc and have some cuts and bruises lol, any way to personally sort them out without forking out millions to get them done at a shop etc?

Depends on how bad the are. if it's just light grazing and the aren't buckled.
Clean, wee rub down, skim of filler, rub down, primer, paint, laquer.
Job done. :wink:

I mean they are in pretty good nick when cleaned just in the outter circle where the tyes connect, just at some areas on that line are some curbing dent/gaps? Guess I should put a pic up really? Can only notice it when you look at it for a bit doesnt stand out loads but also worried if I did do it myself that you would be able to notice it :(

best to break the bead to get on the edge of the rim you wont ever do it with the tyres on and pumped up.

Ingenius, never thought of that as I hate having grease in the same room as anything I'm painting let alone beside it.
I tend to just let down the tyres or get them taken off and use 2in masking tape tucked in behind the lip.
