I used WheelsAmerica about 6 years ago when my wife's ES3 hit a curb and badly dented the rim (ruined the tire too). They got the rim fixed and repainted that like spanking new within couple of days. However, their clear coat/paint quality was not durable since it started to discolor after about 3 years. I could've sent the rim back for refinishing since they carry a lifetime guarantee on their workmanship but I didn't since it was too much of a hassle to remove the tire from the rim.
