Shouldn't cost you anything but a few minutes to get a quote from a wheel repair place. That is, unless you're looking for a good excuse to get new wheels, which I totally understand.

No, I love these wheels. I am going to send some pics in to a couple places in Kansas City for a quote. I would be fine paying $200 for the repair.

Its just like 4 months a year. Kills the bugs and stuff. I don't mind it until I have to shovel it.

I agree 100% with Taylor. Go to your local body shop they will have a connection for you. I had one of my fuel tritons done after the accident that totaled my 13 and you can't even tell. Still running them on my 15 now. Will cost you less than $200 to get it done. They won't even pull the tire off the wheel.

Well I am at a dead end. 2 dedicated wheel repair shops say they can't match the finish. So either live with it or get new wheels. Anyone have a set of 20" wheels for sale??

Honestly, if you're already considering new wheels, I would just grab a roll of knifeless tape, a touch up paint pen and see what you can do. You may be able to get it close enough to where it's not as noticeable, even though you'll always know. Nothing to lose though. Or who knows, if they're not making the wheels anymore, you could have some good luck selling the other 3 as singles on Ebay because I'm pretty sure you're not the only one who has those wheels that is looking for a replacement. Could help bring the cost of a new set down drastically.

I agree Dave, 100%. I may list them on ebay and see what happens. My wife thinks I should do the same and just touch it up for now. I may see how close I can get it.

It got cold here in a hurry. Lol. It was 78 when I got home yesterday until 5:00 when the rain came in. By 8:00 it was 48, then this morning it was 37 when I left the house.

How much would a body shop charge to strip and repaint the wheel? On a full repaint it doesn't matter as much if it's a 100% match. It'd be a lot cheaper than a new set. You could even look at powder coating all of the wheels to a different color to change it up if you have another set of wheels to use for a bit.
