I damaged my 2002 3.2 TL right front alloy wheel while trying to park this
weekend. The wheel is scraped pretty badly.
Is bite the bullet and buy a new OEM wheel the better thing to do or is
refinishing a common cost effective thing to do?
TIA

Refinishing by a competent shop will be virtually indistinguishable from
new.
