Took my Boxster for a nice vacation this past week. As I am driving out of the parking lot heading home I made a turn and felt the rear lift just a little and then heard a loud scrapping sound as my wheel slid down the curb. Now I have a nice 3 inch scrape on my wheel. :ah:

Anyone ever use one of those wheel repair places? Can they really make it like new? Should I just buy a new one? Anyone ever bought a wheel off of Ebay? What are the chances an Ebay wheel is just repaired? Anyone know where I can get a single rear Carrera wheel for a good price?

I know this would be a great excuse to buy some aftermarket wheels but I really like the Carreras. I think they look good on the car and they are nice and easy to clean.

Thanks for the input.
