Default Wheel repair advise needed

2012 991S scrubbed by side steps. Repair or replace? If replace: used or new? And their price? Thanks

For the price to replace one, you could repair the one and re- powder coat all four.

About $200 to fix to look pretty much like new. Just find a good wheel repair shop. Where are you located?.

Here in Scottsdale there are several mobile wheel repair outfits that come to your home or office. I had a worse curb rage than yours and the cost was $100. You cannot tell it was repaired. Just google alloy wheel repair......

Contact Nick Cummings at The Wheel Fix in Waltham, MA. They are the best in Massachusetts. He repaired and powder coated my entire OEM set for $800. I went one shade darker on my RS Spyder Wheels to hide the brake dust better, and so far that seems to help. However, you’re got 6,500 color options available if you’re going to powder coat, but I believe they can paint them as well, which might make match a single wheel easier.

If that is a front Carrera S wheel for a 991.1, I have a extra for sale for $500 shipped...

Repair should run $150ish around here. I use these guys https://www.westchesterwheelrepair.com/

Ditto.

I don't care how good a wheel repair guy is, the repaired wheel's finish will always look a bit off compared to the other wheels. The minimize this issue, after the repair, repaint or powder coat all four wheels so that all wheels at least look the same.

Agree - don't replace one wheel, just refinish all 4.

They also often rotate between dealerships around town.
