Default scraped a wheel

Dammit. Scraped a wheel against a curb. They're factory originals with 6 spokes. Any suggestions how to get it back to its original luster? Or is the damage permanent? Thanks much! tc

Default Re: scraped a wheel

I used these guys a few times on my wife's Allroad and a friend's Jag. All came out very well. They have a flat fee system.

Try eBay. Retail is way too high. Remachining isn't much cheaper (than eBay) and subject to flaws.

Default repair option

I had mine refinished at <b>Wheels America</b> (see link below) and it came out just-like-new. Regardless of the damage, they charge a flat fee, about $129. I live near one of their locations so it was a breeze, but they do appear to ship. You might check them out. <b>Way</b> cheaper than a new one.<ul><li><a href="http://www.wheels-america.com/">Wheels America</a></li></ul>

Default people say wurth paint is the closest thing to the oem wheel paint.

i don't know about the sport editions... but for a few bucks i'd give it a try. remember... don't repaint the whole wheel... just the damage.
