Default opinion needed on wheels

I have a set of pollished flat dish wheels that came with the car. Last weekend I was not paying attention on where the curb was and backed into it. I left a small amount of curb rash on outer lip of the wheel about 4" it did not bend or dent the wheel just left a ugly mark. The question is would it be worth the 279.00 to get the wheel restored or should I just buy new wheels. If I restore one i'm sure to end up restoring them all which would cost a total of 1,100. I have heard the polished flat dish are not common on these cars although I am not sure if that is true or not.

If you like them, restore the rash victim. Additionally, you would have less problem selling the set if you went in another direction. G

They were NEVER factory polished.. If the damage is just the lip after dismounting the tire you can usually file away much of the damage. Spending $1,100 to restore the wheels seems like a lot of money for nothing.

PM sent. I have some wheels for you. BTW, the PM says Khumo tires on these. It's Yokohama.

They are not chrome, just polished very well.
