Default Curb rash and tire recommendation.
Well I just got my dads 95 ss passed down. Still got stock rims and I want to totally redo them. There's curb rash around the outside lip just wonder something I could fill it up with. bondo? I got it mostly flat with a file and some high grit sand paper just need to fill in the holes. Any ideas?

Also would like someone if they could to recommend me some cheaper but good tires to fit these things.
Thanks

I just went with Nittos in the stock size, they look good. I haven't had them long enough to know how they'll run long-term, unfortunately they're very soft and probably won't last nearly long enough. Oh well.

For the repair, I hear that JB weld works really well.

For the tires, See the sticky @ the top of this section!
