Rim repair

I had scuffed up one of my rims. Can someone recommend how to repair it?

Does anyone know if a wheel can be repaired of curb rash MULTIPLE times? For example, I don't know how I curb rashed my passenger side front wheel, but if I get it repaired now, can the same wheel be refinished again in the same spot if I curb rash it again?

Yes; this is not a problem if the previous repairs were done properly.

I wouldn't recommend trying to repair it yourself unless you are certain you know what you are doing (and if you do you wouldn't be asking on the board). Not sure where you are in Jersey but I heard good things about USA Wheels in Fairfield (http://www.usawheels.net/). I almost took my rims there but I decided to double check with my dealer and they had someone come to them and do the job under their supervision. I paid $120 to get one deep and thin and one shallow but wide scuff out from one of my rims and a rim rash from a pothole damage from another.

Most any large city has wheel repair people who visit dealers regularly to repair wheels. Ask around or look in the yellow pages or do an on line search.
