The repair looks great ... and your wheel probably wasn't the easiest to complete the refinishing. Glad it worked out for you. Now keep a few more inches away from those curbs!

Looks good to me, Sergio. When I had my wheel fixed by George, it was perfect and that was the OEM finish. Dave and Kerry's wheels were done perfectly too, by George. I saw them after their jobs got done. How much does the shade vary from stock? I'm sure you can notice, but did you ask anyone else if they could notice? I'm extremely anal too, but remember, if nobody else notices it, then you're just being way over anal. I do it all the time too. It drives my wife nuts. Hahahaha! Let's meet up one day, after work. I'll tell you if I can tell. If I can tell, we should go buy you a set of 20's for your car immediately. Hahahahahaha!

My Ride: E60
Damn!
I just curbed my right front rim last night!!! Sheeet, I was parking on the side of a street
at 2AM with no cars around and just had to park right up on the curb side..... LOL
Why is it that I never get scratches/curb rashes in the middle of the day with thousands of
cars swirming around but always do it when the whole streets empty?!!!!
Oh yeah, what was I doing in the middle of the night? Parking next to a 7-11 to get some
food! LOL

Ouch, poor rim. Don't worry, you'll get it fixed soon.
