^^^For curb rash or any cosmetics repair, do you have to remove the tires do you know?

I believe so. I think the standard process is to repair the damage, sand blast off the old paint, then powder coat or repaint to match. Expect estimates in the neighborhood of 100-200 per wheel, with possible discounts for doing multiple wheels. Maybe they dont need to do as much for bends, not sure.

I had thought about getting my 2 curbed BBS wheel repaired. But the idea of spending a few hundred just to get back to prisitine stockers didnt sound too exciting. So I ended up just buying new wheels instead

I took mine to car nutz in Bellevue a couple years back and they had a 3rd party take care of my badly bent wheel. It was so bad they actually had to add material! Anyway, it was a couple hundred and I didn't have to remove the tire.

Im guessing the $75 price is just for repair (no blasting or repainting). Remember normal repairs will not likely be color matched. 'Touch up' paint is not really a good option for wheels.

If you can drop it off at my shop, we have a couple different wheel repair guys that strictly do business work. We can have them stop by to get a price quote for ya. No need to remove the tire either! They do all that!
