Check with Alan or Dave at Wheel Enhancement (see http://www.wheelenhancement.com).

You can do it yourself with products from Kragen. Or pay $100 a wheel or so to get it fixed.

These guys are in Allentown, Pa and do perfect work, every time.
Easy enough to UPS to them.

Check with Princeton Porsche, they have a guy who comes in to do it there.
Seems reasonable, $100 or so.

What wheels do you have? If they are the ones in the Avatar then the repair is rather simple (i.e., inexpensive) It's just a process of using a little filler and then painting it over with a silver paint. The XRR Carrera Sports are much harder to fix because the outer edge is machined. If the repair requires a two-step repair, plan on about $180 a wheel. If it's just a bondo job with silver paint it's closer to $125. Good luck out there.

your dealer will have a guy they use for wheels on the cars they take in.

Don't use Rim Guard in Raleigh, they are amateurs who do a shoddy job.

I've used this DIY guide for minor rash on a 330Ci. It's really not that hard. It's not totally perfect but I'm the only one that noticed where the repair was. One suggestion, remove the rim and do it away from your car.
