Default Scraped Chrome Wheel

I recenlty scraped the edge in one of my chrome wheels on my 2007 coupe. Does anyone know how to repair or someone who can repair the damage (it is about 2 inches long on the edge in two places) without sending the wheel back.

That'll be tough. The wheel can be repaired but it will need to be re-chromed (entire wheel). Not sure about cost. The problem is getting a good quality job done; thickness, proper cleaning before plating etc.
How about that avitar!!?? This isn't a circus!! (joke!)

Replacement of the wheel might be the best solution. They will have to remove, reinstall and balance the tire anyway.
