Default scratched rims

The dealer says they can 'touch up' the rims to make them look like new.

Should I go for it? Only $200 per rim, or should I get new rims.

TIA

Greg

No brainer, touch up.

......or better yet, relegate them to track wheels and get new!

Dell, I think your SY car looks better with the silver wheels. Did you really swap out the wheels or is this a photoshop enabled test drive ?

Silver Wheels for the street.
Black for the track.

Update by request:

Cost $350 for both rims to be touched up by velvet touch.

Only slight traces of their work is possible.

I am very happy with the results!

Thanks M! Those are for the track. The other set that is silver will be for the street.
