Has anyone had wheels repaired through refinishing places? I had two polished OEM wheels damaged during tire replacement and the dealership is going to send them out to be refinished.
I had scratches on my Z06 Motorsport (from the kid who drove into the side of my car trying to park.....) and a large but shallow scratch on the polished lip of a custom Boyd Coddington from my GTO (done by the tire shop).
Both wheels were refinished by Wheels America and both came out perfect as far as I could ever tell...
Turn it into something for the house like a table or a garden hose reel for outside. Otherwise if you have no use for it, send it to the aluminum recyclers so he can be made into soda pop cans or otherwise

Well, yes, and they did a good job. But, what does it matter how ours came out? You really don't have a choice, at this point. Don't think you can force the shop to replace with new ones if they have the opportunity to repair them. Just be sure the repair is "as good as new". If not, then you may have a basis for replacement.
Good luck, aces.

I have dealt with recon wheel shops for 20 or so years on the business side of the house. If you have a regular alloy wheel and the damage is not down into the bead then it should not be a problem for a"reputable" wheel repair company to repair the wheel and have it last. You should be fine..
