BTW, your wheels are only around HKD3000 usually less), depending where you get them - with Zung Fu/Speedline you'll pay a premium.

HKD 3000 (USD 400) for a wheel is really not bad for resuming the baby to its perfection. Guess I should polish the scratched wheel, store it somewhere and until one day , touch wood, another scratch again, may be at that time ..the baby is aged enough for me to accept a not so perfect wheel

j/kI finally went home and saw the damages, 7-8 scratches along the edge, lucky none of those scratches are on the star; thus, they are not that obvious if looking at them 6 feet away. A new wheel is USD450, get it polished and repaint it is USD50.

FYI the AMG parts subsidiary of Zung Fu is Speedline (in CWB). They will rape you with a walk-in price (even if you do it thru your saleman). It is actually much cheaper and quicker to buy from the other shops who import them in the grey market. How did they paint your wheel in 2 hours? Sounded like they didn't bake the paint for a lasting finish....but that's ok, it should last as long as you properly polish/wax it from time to time.
