Long story short. Wife drove car, wife did grave damage to stock rims. Because of the color do you think these things can be repaired? I am willing to buy replacements from Sewell but at about $475 each shipped (times 3), I would certainly prefer to have them repaired.
And please no bashing. There will never be another time that anyone besides me will ever be behind the wheel again.. EVER.
Pics to follow.

Ouch. My wife always want's to drive the IS. I have let her a few times but I'm scared each time. I was sick last week and her car was in the shop, so she drove it a couple times without me. The car's ok because I tell her to take everything wide and please park in the back of those parking lots.
Should be able to fix them though! Things we do for our women lol!

I feel that pain (though I only had one of my wheels scratched) =/
Mine was hit while parked and the guy got my front bumper, fender, wheel and part of the driver door =/
My wheel was repaired just fine, color matched perfectly and you'd never know it happened. I know they didn't replace it, it was repaired for sure (I have more wheel weights on it than I did before haha). Here's how the damage on mine looked.

OUCH!! We used rim doctor for a much smaller place (maybe 3 inches) on my 2009 lobster claws and they did a good job. I think ours cost about $100.00 but it was nowhere near that bad. Hope you can get them repaired and not have to shell out major money to replace them.

Most expensive wheel repair place by my house is $250 per wheel. Most local shops just charge $100-150 per wheel. Just check with local shops for quotes. I scraped and BENT my front rim the first week I bought my IS parking in a rush at school. I repainted it but I scraped it again in a dark parking lot making a tight turn. I just got tired of it and left it.
