Well, it wasn't a matter of if but when LOL. I was in a rush and curbed a wheel. I was just wondering if it's worth trying to have repairs done vs. just replacing the wheel.

They're not expensive wheels--just Work XT7's. And they do come with a painted (I believe) matte surface if that helps. I don't have any pictures, but I slid down a curb, and so there are some scratches along two of the spokes' flat faces.

Any input is welcome and thanks in advance!

No responses--but in case anybody else runs into this I did show it to a wheel repair man and it was as expected: The finish of these particular wheels (matte & painted) make them very difficult to repair. They can be repainted or powder-coated, or even have touch-up paint applied to the scratch.

In the end I decided to replace the wheel with a new one since the available options weren't that appealing to me.
