Scratched Wheel Woes....

Oh nice! That's really good news! Tell me...would any of you consider taking this repair to the stealership?

Hell no! They have a guy that goes around in a mobile wheel fix van. For sure that will be cheaper.

(I'm sure they have someone like that in your area as well)

From your pictures, I'd say you have nothing to worry about. I took a chunk out of two spokes on my G, and after the repair, you couldn't tell anything ever happened.

As far as going to the dealer, they are just going to call the same guy you could and add a mark-up to it. That's not being a "stealership", that's just business.
