There's got to be someone close by for you..have you asked your dealer? We have a guy here who does it for $75/wheel and they look like new.

To be honest, the repair will look good for a few weeks but after that the brake dust clings to the repair and will look like crap. Its best to just have the whole wheel refinished which is in the $250 range. I have had wheel repair done several times, once by a BMW dealer that swore up and down regarding the quality and a guy that came out to the house. The guy that came out to the house was actually better because I told him not to over do the refinishing. You should post a pic of the scrape and I will let you know what will work best.

RimPro in Tewksbury. Tom is the owner. I have had some fabulous results with these guys if you want it done right. (978) 851-6080. Your damage may not warrant using them but they are a good resource.
