Need one wheel... my distraction..cant blame my wife
So a dog ran into the street when it was raining hard yesterday and to avoid hurting him, I dragged my right front wheel (PS) (not the one in the photo cause it was too close to the garage)..into a curb for a about 10 feet.
Anyway, was wondering where I can either look for a replacement wheel OR a not so painful place to get it repaired. I already got a quote from a shop in Bath PA (are you sitting down ????? $225!!!) to repair and repaint and I SWEAR it's not that bad. Anyway, here's the wheel ON THE OTHER (DS) SIDE just for visual purposes..I never get the wheel model numbers right.. I've already been to ebay, and they have worse carp than I have, so I though I'd see if anyone has any wonderful ideas that wont cause me to take a second mortgage for a wheel.. PS. The tire is fine and the car drive straight so I am convinced there was only curbage damage. So open to your ideas, suggestions, recommendations, and likely insults ... :-) Thanks as always ED in Metuchen

I cant answer your questions. But I think it's really sweet what you did.

$225 for repair sounds fine to me.
I asked my local BMW dealer, for future info purposes, how much to fix "wheel/curb rash". They said $250. That does NOT include any repair of the wheel --- it would just include the sanding and painting layers (and probably removal of tire).

Ed,
Go to Open Road. They hooked me up with a guy that came down while I was in service and he was much cheaper than $225. The curb rash I had was about 2 inches long and it was on the edge where the tire meets the wheel. Not sure how bad yours is. WARNING - The guy is hard to get but he did great work.
