Reasonable wheel repair cost?

I have a set of just about perfect webspokes that I've been meaning to sell months ago, but in the process of getting the wheels off and putting the new wheels on, I scratched one of them. Bone headed to the max.

Anyway, I'm finally getting around to doing something about this and want to get it fixed before putting them on the market. How much should it cost to refinish it? I scratched the painted portion as well as the polished lip. Anyone have any recommendations in the San Fernando valley?

Tell you what. We've been doing wheels in the St Louis market for many years now and will be making our nationwide push come Jan. 2010. If you pay the shipping here and back, (roughly $15.00 each way) I will personally do your wheel. All I ask is that you take care of shipping and give me your honest opinion of the finished product.

We pride ourselves on TOP Tier finish work.

Let me know

They turned out great; really looks like new. I have them for sale in the marketplace with pictures. Cost me $125 total. Seems like a lot especially considering it was just a 2-3" scratch, but they also dismounted the tire, remounted and balanced and did a thorough job everywhere. I planned on selling the wheel so I wanted to be sure it was done right.

If it was done correctly $125.00 is spot on
