Can buy rim savers, but they don't look great.

I went the ‘repair it’ route ... and it’s happened 4 times now.
The 5th time I’ve thrown my hands up in despair & scrapped the idea of fixing it.
Three of the times we didn’t even see the Thing that caused it; pothole or rock obscured by leaf-litter, gutter in a shopping-centre car-park which wasn’t visible given the sight-angles, stuff like that.

One thing I’ll say about repairing it, the results from the mobile guys looked good - initially. Being the silvery grey, you may have better results, but after a year or so the gloss black had faded a little & polishing didn’t help; but when we had the wheels done off the car after some ******** ran into us & it was already at a panel-beater, it was good initially & has stayed that way.

I’m waiting for my tires need replacing so I can get my rim repaired from these guys http://wheelmasteraustraliapty.com.au/
I know this place doesn’t help you @Ron Burgundy but have a look in your area.
There prices all depend on the damage but i think they range from $150-$450 a per wheel and they look like new

I contacted Barrel Bros, they told me it was a 10 week turnaround (standard gloss black MY15 SSVR wheels).
Suspect they don’t want my business.

I would be annoyed with my driving but not be in a hurry to replace it or get it 'fixed'. Each scratch tells a tale.
Once you get your Brembos you won't see it ;)

It would p me right off. I would have to by a new rim. I wouldnt be able to help myself.
I'm glad I don't have a daily driver, I'd be broke in a year
Replacing every bit that had a blemish.

Repainted/repaired wheels never have good quality paint like the factory did,it will chip off so easily if you get it fixed,id get a new rim and use this as a spare,i cant stand to look at damaged wheels it makes an awesome car look shite.
