Alloy Wheel Repair
If you want a factory finish, most large cities have alloy wheel repair places or a come to you van that can remove curb rash and make your wheels look perfect. If you are near Boston, Wheel Pro Inc in Tewksberry may help you out. Cost varies from about $50 to $100 per wheel (depending on the damage) and looks perfect on painted wheels. Brushed/Alloy finish/chrome wheels usually cost a few $$$ more and the repair is visible at about 1 yard if you know it was repaired. I have had two wheels done at different locations in the past that were perfect after the repair. Usually takes about 45 minutes to 1.5 hours per wheel -- from time off the car to time on. Some will even check/rebalance the wheel after the repair.
If you are in the do it yourself mode, there are a few websites that have great how-tos. Allow about two days to complete the repair, the shops will use quick drying paint and putty and are experienced at the process. I think Wurth makes paint/clearcoat that matches Boxster wheels exactly.
Hope this helps.
