Since they're after markets I'd take them to get it professionally done. But if you want to save the money the stuff you need is pretty cheap and easy to find locally.

Here's a pretty detailed DIY here

Wow, I had curb damage for two wheels and alignment fixed for 180 on a Honda CRV. Although for my IS250 it runs at about 150 for one wheel only because they have to repaint it (mines gun metal alloy)

Yea for $150 bucks you can pick up a pair of wheel protectors that go around the otter edge of the wheel and fully protect it against any curb damage. I use to get my wheels fixed all the time here in long island from curb damage. But i came across these took me about a hour to put them on they came out really nice and the black blends right in with the tire. Here is the link to the site http://www.infinityworldwide1.com/wheelprotector.htm check them out there only $150 shipped.

Those look interesting. Is the install straightforward?
