Okay so Ive curbed both my rear wheels in seperate incidents (also, that wheel protector on the tires dont do jack). Is there any way I can somewhat fix the jagged edges/scape on my wheel? I was thinking about maybe trying to sand it down some to have it look smoother and not look so bad but wasnt sure if it would fuck the wheel up even more.

RIM shops can fix them and make the pretty much like new, if you goto a good shop. Shouldn't cost all that much either.

hehehehe...rim jobs....anyhoo I curbed one of my rims and I got quoted 160 bucks to have it fixed, apparently they fix it like new. I just stopped caring after a while but I will get it fixed one day. Or maybe just buy an extra rim and then have a full size spare. It is like 300 shipped for a new rim from mazdastuff.com I think.

If you can find the paint for the Racing Hearts, you could sand the curb rashes down with different grit sand paper and then paint over it.
I sanded out a small curb rash on one of my wheels, and it looked better...
