Wheel Repair over Replacement

So a few weeks back I did the unthinkable and got a curb rash on the front wheel. Problem is that these wheels are not painted and getting back to original look would cost about $1100 for a new wheel. Took a chance with wheels on site for $179 to attempt a repair. I can say it worked out well. They were able to buff it out and apply a paint to parts of the wheel to make it look like the original. See pics below.

The mobile wheel repair guys have this down to a science and OEM wheel finishes are relatively easy to match versus bespoke aftermarket wheels w/ more custom finishes (brushed clear etc. or custom color).

Looks great and you saved $900.00!

That was after I got it washed. Think that was standard tire dressing.

Looks pretty good especially for about 85% less!
