Location, location. Anywhere in the Northeast vs. Texas? I can see where the cost would be different. Maybe not $190 though!

I live in RI...the place that wants 250 does a complete job and removes all paint from the rim reprimes it and repaints it....Im not sure what the guy at the dealership is going to do for 150 but I doubt its that extensive.

checkout car-part.com and theres tons of wheels on there and they can ship it to you for FUTURE reference for others who run into problems. $125 was a good price for repair

I attached a pic of the damage....pretty much curbed 1/4 of the way around the rim. Dont have an after pic b/c the rims are stored away for the winter, but it looks like it was never curbed...amazing work.
