Curbed Stock Sport Wheels and Repairing Possibilities

Got some slight "curbage" on a couple of my wheels. Damn potholes get me every time. I think it would be foolish to purchase new rims just because mine have some scrapes. So I think I'd like to repair them if possible then maybe powder-coat them. (would also help keep my "sleeper" concept going)

Have you guys had any experience with this? Found this site http://www.fixrim.com/index.php?page=mobilerepair that people say is pretty legit and does a good job for a price that's vastly cheaper than new wheels. Thanks in advance for feedback!

Also: If I wanted to replace the caps with the mount Fuji symbols on the wheels (have Nissan/Skyline badges...want the shoes to match the jewelry) are there any out there readily available?

You should check around your local shops as well. Of course getting it repaired will be cheaper than buying new wheels. How bad is the damage? Any pics?

if you bent your rim going over potholes, you might have to get a new rim

I just had mine fixed yesterday from this place:

I think they're only in SoCal but the place you mentioned probably does the same thing.
I curbed my stock wheel and had a good sized scratch all along the edge. Looks like new now. Definitely worth it. It cost me $125. They came out to my work and did it in about an hour.
