That quote is a little on the high side. If this "local shop" isn't a wheel repair expert I'd go elsewhere - Don't know where you are located (you should update your profile) but there are several in the US where you can ship and receive your rim repaired and refinished for about the same or even less. Here's one example http://wheelsamerica.com/index.php?page=wheelrepair

If you post your location I'm sure forum members may have other suggestions.

Do you live in Jersey theres a place in Fairfield New Jersey That fix's the Rims for about $80 USA WHEEL It better to get the fix then keep buying a new wheel especially if you live in the New Jersey area where the roads are horrible.
