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

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
?

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!
