a local ford dealership was advertising a wheel for $100 because it had a small scratch in it. i went to take a look and it didn't appear too deep and i thought it could easily be repaired, this rim usually costs around $250. so i ended up buying it for a full size spare. i took the scratched rim to my buddy's shop and begin showing his brother the rim i just picked up. i begin to see how deep the scratch is and notice that its beginning to rub off. turns out that the scratch is actually a grease mark and the whole thing came right off. lol B)
