I'm asking $900 for all 4, but I'll take $800 if you pay the shipping.
MACS,

What kind of condition are they in.
What do you think it will cost to ship?

The wheel shop/mobile tire guy would just need to blend the right color paint, especially since your wheel isn't in some type of anodized finish. I've had my Rays matte gunmetal grey wheels scuffed all the time. I just give Son Tran out here in Southern Cali a call and he makes it look brand new. He only charges me $50-100 a rim depending on how bad the curb rash is. There's bound to be places that'll do it, probably not for that cheap though but it still won't amount to the cost of a new wheel. I should note that a regular body shop that doesn't specialize in wheels will use a clearcoat and paint that's made for a car body and not specifically for the wheel. As a result, the paint may start to chip due to the stress everyday wear and tear puts on your wheel. If you can, I suggest finding a shop that works primarily with wheels or a shop that uses paint and clearcoats primarily for wheels when working on them. Just my two cents... Like a previous poster said, until we see pictures, there's no way of knowing for sure.
Thank you.
My body shop does deal with a wheel guy. They have the car now. They are going to check out a couple of options for me.. If they got nothing, then I will start a search to find a place for fixing OEM rims.

how many wheels did you bend? is that $300 each? if you look around, you should be able to find a place that can do it for less. I had 2 of my iForge wheels fixed a while back in L.A. for $120 each.
