I'm pretty sure that Porsche wheel fix DIY is out there somewhere; it should be stickied.

Hi,
I did some surfing a while back and found this site. It gives a pretty good DIY for curb rash repair:

Myself, I'm not good at those types of repairs. If your real handy you may be able to DIY. I found a guy locally that specializes in this type of repair and he can take a badly damaged wheel and make it look new. $100.00.

Typically you can ask around at the higher end dealerships in your area and they can point you in the right direction.

Hmm thanks everyone. Its a pretty small mark, so I think I'll hold off on getting a professional unless it gets any worse. Great opp for teaching myself a new trade I suppose

Curb Rash Repair

Unfortunately I am not the DIY type of guy, at my age. Has anyone used a shop here in the Orlando area to fix one of their wheels. I would appreciate any type of ref feral and if you do not mind how much did u pay.

I would also ask on the Sunshine State MINI's website. They are local to your area and may be able to help a little better.
