Default Badly need my wheels repaired

The two front wheels on my G35 are curbed pretty bad, I bought the car like this and in the amount of time I've owned it I haven't gotten a chance to get them fixed. Does anyone know of a reputable place that could fix them in the NY/NJ/PA area?

If you have experience with a place, it would have to cost less than it would for me to buy two wheels, if you get the picture. Thanks to anyone that can provide useful information

Mag blue CE's on a Laser Red G35?

Besides, I don't think I'll be putting $1000 wheels on a car I'm trying to sell.

i only know of one wheel repair shop that does awesome work(i have yet to be at the shop without bently wheels and such lying around), but he will probably cost more than finding two used g35 wheels.

Yeah, I got quoted by a guy for $250 per wheel which I thought was outrageous...I just need to get the car in good enough condition to sell.

i know when i f'ed up my work, he said if i was a regular customer it was $400 to repair it. so 250 doesn't seem outrageous, but still too much if you're just looking to sell it.


btw, if you're just looking to sell it, i don't think it would be worth it.
do you really think you're going to get back the same amount when you sell it, as it cost you to repair the wheels? i mean if you think a few scracthes on the wheels are really going to make the difference between lets say, 15,500 and 15,800, (just two random numbers) and you're going to be paying about 200 or so to get them fixed, if it was me i'd say f it and just leave them the way they are.

There's a shop on ave x and mcdonald ave in brooklyn, friend of mine said they charged him for his G35 i think it was $75 a wheel, but i could be wrong you should check it out, i forgot the name of place, but if you ever drop by i can show you where it is.

Depending if your looking for a quick fix and how bad, I sanded my curbage down with a dremel and then rattle caned my ap2 v1's and I was amazed how good they came out.
