Can anyone refer me to a good wheel repair shop in SoCal, preferrably in SD county (mobile repair is even better). Right rear AMG wheel with my sports package got chipped from the side curb. I am so pissed right now!!!! Such an eye sore to look at, seems like it is screaming for me to look at it everytime i happen to be on the passenger side. F*#* me!!!

The first is always the toughest. I've gouged all four now, enough times that it's actually visible to the untrained eye, as opposed to just the obsessed Mercedes perfectionist.

If anyone knows of a place in Los Angeles that fixes these, they would probably get my business.

Do you mean literally "chipped", as in a chunk taken out of the wheel, or "just" scraped and abraded? If the latter, a thread a few months ago posted detailed instructions for do-it-yourself repair. The soft metal that makes it so easy to damage alloy wheels also allows DIY repair. I'll see if I can locate the thread.

Here's a link, originally posted by ToyCollector in October, to a detailed and illustrated description of DIY repair of wheel scratches and scrapes:

Thanks for your input guys. I contacted a mobile place called Velvet Touch, the guy is coming out next week to do the work he charges $125.00 and told me that it would take no more than 2 hours. I will just have him do it while the car is at my office. I will take some pre and post pix to show you guys the work. I can probably follow the instruction on the site DWP pointed me to and do the work, what the hell for $125 I'll just pay the pro to do it.
