Just a quick update regarding my damaged wheels at the carwash:
I got a call from the gas station's insurance company and they're paying for the damages. They contacted a few wheel repair shops and found out that the shops were unable guarantee a paint match on the wheel given the color, and most shops can only do up to a 18" wheel. Either way, I totally scored on this deal. Apparently he called a BMW dealer and they quoted a little over $500/wheel for an OEM replacement. They're cutting me a check for the replacement value for both wheels (driver's side front & rear). I went to the same gas station and drove PAST the carwash and now there's a 3 foot sign that says they're not responsible for vehicle damage.
