Has anyone ever come up with a way to make black wheels black again after the tire rollover rubs the black off it? I really don't care if I have to touch it up often but my Excels are not excelling.....

Obviously not a huge deal, I'm thinking about just taking a sharpie to them or just ignoring it. lol

Thick sharpie is a good move. Isn’t perfect but better than the silver strip worn off.

I just scratched up a brand new set of husky wheels... getting a 100 back tire on a 2.15 rim is a major pain in the area.

Big wide sharpie covered it up well lol

Take a rattle can of black paint, spray a bit into a small container of sorts and then use a small paint brush to apply it to the rim edge.
I find the colour matches better and lasts longer than the sharpie method.

That is probably the winner idea. Obviously it's a dirt bike and meant to get bashed up but I do like things to look as good as possible.

Touch-up paint works. I have an automotive touch-up business and my black solvent-based touch up toners work well.

I'm not sure what you mean by toners. Do you have a link to anything like that?

When you say paint pen do you mean the pens where you depress the tip to get the paint flowing?
