Can anyone give me some leads on either a repair or replacement rim? The wheel is the rear on a 2005 CLK 500 with AMG package. I beleive it is 17X8.5 and it is completely painted. The damage is curb rash on the outside lip of the rim. If the suggestion and info is for a repair the company doing the repair would have to smooth the damage and scuff the entire wheel, repaint and reclear. I have seen some repairs where thery just sand, paint, and reclear the damaged spot and the job looks like crap. I got a new set of rims for my SL 55 due to a repair not up to my standards. I live near the Bay Area Ca.
Thanks

The best place I've found locally is Quicksilver in SF

Thanks for the replies. After looking at the damage closer, in the light, there is a chunk missing from the rim lip. If it were repaired you would see a dip in the rim. Looks like I'll have to fork the big $$ for a new one, dam.
