Default rim repair

hi guys

after a search here i found that most people said alliance rim repairs so i called them and said it'd be 150-200 to fix this? does that sound about right?

any other places ?

thanks

Take a rim into a paint shop and get them to colour match it then buy a tin of touch up paint, dab some on with a cotton bud.

For a scratch that size? I wouldn't worry about it. No one else is going to spot it.

Touch up paint and cotton bud sounds like a good idea!

Think it was 150? Alliance said they couldn't match the colour ??

It's amazing how fragile the rims are. The metal is soft, and grazes so easily.

Just cosmetic repairs or bent rims as well?
