Wheel repair? $$$$

[abc]

One wheel has a gouge in it and the other has curb rash.
Is it possible to get these back to looking new or at least in better condition as I don't want to have to buy new factory wheels and of course the same thing could happen again just like swirls in paint are inevitable.

Time for a set of curb feelers...and they look so cool!

Don't know your CA location, but if you are near Union City, or Santa Clara:

Wheels America has a coupon ad in Motor Trend for $99/wheel (regular $129). I can mail you the coupon if you decide on Wheels America.

I curbed a wheel recently and checked on replacement wheels and found that I didn't like the price. So I asked around with my club for anyone that may have changed wheels and kept their original ones. I found a set to take off wheels and bought all 4 for $800 - 06 polished standard wheels. Now all I have to do is swap the one wheel out and I'll have 3 spares (anyone need a single wheel?). I can also use the spare set for race tires if need be.

I also found that Lingenfelter and Mallet sell take off wheels - Lingenfelter says $1000 + shipping for all 4.

If you have standard factory wheels, they are selling used all over the place.
