Painting and Repairing Rims

I'm looking to purchase TSW Bremmas or something similar but would like to paint the spokes grey or gunmetal.

1. Anyone have experience on pricing of painting rims? (I hear powedcoat messes up the quality and strength of the rim)

2. Pricing on repairing scruffed up rims due to letting the ladie's parallel park? (j/k ladies. we still like you.)

3. Any DIYers wanna chime in?

Wheels America can definitely help you out with the curb rash. I had two rims on my Jeep SRT that were seriously hosed up and they repaired them to as new condition. Not only that, but they faxed me the UPS call tag, and told me to leave the tires on the wheels and they'd re-balance them for me. They had them in house and on the way back to me in two days. $256 total, for everything...

If your getting a bnew set its better to keep it that way, so as not to mess up the original finish.
