What part of Texas your in, if your in Dallas then I know a guy who fixed mine recently for a reasonable price.

I hear so many stories of valet parking workers scratching workers, how does this happen so frequently? Isn't it a bit ironic?

Aww man! I'm in Houston. I'll check with the local shops around here. I just wasn't sure if it was repairable.

Look up Wheels America in Houston. They are off 290. They have been around forever and do great work. That repair is simple for them.

Like SW15LS said those can't be repaired I've had machine finish get messed up and they are not really able to bring it back to factory it will look different from the other wheels.

They absolutely can be repaired like new, and not that expensive. The place I mentioned in my last post has repaired several wheels for me that I was stunned at what they did for $140. I also have a friend who had an HRE wheel ($4,000 a set) repaired that looked like new. And theses were overnight repairs. Two of the wheels I've had done where machined and polished, as was the HRE.

The dealers use folks who repair wheels in their parking lot in an hour. They are good for certain types of wheels and damage. But go to one of the shops that have the right equipment and experience and they can fix far more than you would think.

Near me we have none and they have repaired one and it didn't come out like when it was purchased. Good to know if they take shipping of wheels there.
