Check your local BMW dealer......when I bought my 550, it had road rash on 2 of the wheels. The sales guy said they have a mobil wheel repair guy that comes once a week. I was skeptical at first.....but when they brought the car around when the guy was done...I was amazed(took a couple of hrs). I couldn't tell at all where the repair were at. I talked to the tech, and he said he took the tires off, filled the road rashes with alloy,ground down, prepped, re-sprayed and re-cleared the wheels. Good stuff, if done right. No idea on cost, as the dealer ate the expenses
