I would buy a used wheel on eBay.
I think it would be difficult to refinish the polished rim.

There should be many places that can take care of that serious curb rash up there! Just way out the difference in cost from repairing the wheel or replacing!? I know down here in So.Cal. there are reputable places!Your lucky it's not a 3 piece wheel like mine!

So, I have researched wheels shops as I need to get the wheels on my '10 C4S refinished. I have used other shops in the past. This shop comes highly recommended - but I have not used them yet.

I know of them because other Porsche owners have recommended them to me.

Their reviews on Yelp look stellar. I have sent them an email requesting a quote.
Thanks for the recommendation

BTW, the Carrera Sport Wheels are my favorite 997 wheels.
May change my Carrera S II wheels to your style.

Call your dealer and ask who they use. Also call the BMW dealer with the same question. I've used Alloy Wheel Repair in the past and had good results but they are a franchise so be sure your local guy gets good references.
