Default Rim Repair

Looking for your opinion on where/how much it should cost to repair these rims. I did this almost 2 years ago but i finally decided to get them fixed even though no one notices them.

I got 2 quotes. 1 individual quoted at 180/wheel to repair and another 95/wheel.

I am not sure how much they would usually charge for that kind of service. I live in the DMV area in Pg County

Any help is appreciated.

first one doesn't look bad, the second one is pretty rough looking. Are both of the people reputable? If so I would go with the cheaper one.

Ask the cheaper one why you so cheaper. And can you see some there other works. If they can't provide a good explanation, then go other guys. My experience, you get what you pay for.

Cheaper doesnt always mean bad. Its all on the service that make or break it. You can go pay 180 and get a crappy work done too.
