Rims...ugh...
Hmmm...my SEVEN DAY OLD E55 now has a hacked up stock rim (yes, please repeal my manhood for hitting the curb). Anyone know a good place to refurbish this? Or maybe buy a refurbished one? Or buy a new/used one cheap (i.e. from someone who's replaced their stock wheels with something else)?
Thanks...

I did it with my M5 last year and the repair was undetectable and it cost me $100. Fret not and get it fixed dude.

Try the classifieds in the Baltimore / Washington area.
I just had a stock set of wheels and rubber stolen from a
custom shop. I was getting my spare set of stock wheels powder coated black, but someone else needed them more than I did, I guess.
Not many people out there with the need for these babies, so I would imagine that they are for sale somewhere.

I use Wheel Repair Specialists here in So Cal. It's a bit out of the way for you, but I'm sure you have someone closer to you in MA.
FYI, WRS charges me $120 for repair/refurb. Typical dealer markup for this service is 100%.

I just had an out-of-round bent rim repaired by Wheel Techniques in Northern California (Santa Clara). Rim came out great, balanced. They've been in business 20+ years. Highly Recommended.
