Sorry to hear about your problem
Just hit a curb with the fourth wheel and you will again have a matching set

The mobile guys are acceptable, and it beats buying a new wheel.

Mobile guy charges $150. New wheel is around $320 + $30 for RFT mounting/balancing. I am not sure I would want a mobile guy.

Thanks guys for the encouragment for my silly mistake as for 320 + 30 that would be a steal try 700 apiece for the fronts and around 900 for the rears i will try the mobile guys i think it will be alright as i have come to terms with my error in my ways and once again MERRY CHRISTMAS from the Carter familiyAttachment 13695

Sorry, I meant style 124 wheels for around $300. You have some kind of fancy (and probably much more expensive) wheels. Anyway you may want to check this link http://bmwwheels.com/bmwwheels_detai...124&Series=E60

Why can't you do nothing about it if it can't be fixed cheap? Why do you have to replace four perfectly fine wheels just because they have scratches?

That kind of rational talk will get you banned

My wife banged up my wheels the other day and was afraid to tell me so while I was at work, she took it straight to a wheel repair shop and they fixed it. It was $350!!!

I don't know if they ripped her off because she's a woman or because they knew my wheels are expensive or if it actually costed that much since the lip is polished. I didn't see the damage so I don't know how bad it was. All she said was that I would have been pissed. hahaha

I need to fix my OEM 124s for curb rashes on two of the wheels also but hell no if it's gonna cost $350 each.
