Road Rash

I just noticed some road rash on my rims. Has anyone had their rims repaired? How much did it cost?

Rim repair/refinishing places are easy to look up, usually about a $100 to dismount the tire and fix.
One complication regarding your beautiful wheels however, are they chromed or PVD coated?

They are PVD coated. Does that make it more difficult/expensive to fix?

Yes apparently so. Lexus offers Tire and Rim protection as an Insurance through the
Business office, cost about what a Tire and Rim would cost so it's worth it if you tend
to ding a rim or two...specifically does NOT cover chromed or PVD coated wheels

lots of you tube videos showing the different processes. I had FSport wheels repaired at $50 each here in SoCal, technician matched color and applied clear coat. Looks like new.
