Anyone have a guess as to what it would take to make it at least presentable???? No job = conserve money mode, ie gotta be dirt cheap to do it else it waits.....

Curbed my second one yesterday :-{ plus picked up a screw in the tire.
Wheels are $600 apiece from Audi so that is out. My last one I took a dremel tool and cleaned up the rough edges. Its a 10' fix, looks good from 10' any closer and you can tell something is going on.
Wheel repair services might be able to fix it. This coming winter I will see what can be done. They might be able to weld up the lip and grind it to flush again.
I owned a lot of cars with low profile tires and never curbed a wheel until the TT. If it did not have that damn lip that sticks out I might never have ruined it.
