21" Street Package Black ST Wheel

Hi All,
Is this worth fixing or should I just buy another?
Got some serious curb scrapes trying to avoid a car. I'm think it can be smoothed out and repainted?
It's not cracked or out of round.

I cant see a photo but if its just on the surface a wheel repair specialist does wonders.

Ouch! Should be repairable.

Depending on how deep it is, should be repairable.

I would say just bite the bullet and get a replacement. Not sure how good the repair is going to look like.

I've replaced one and had two of them refinished, and I would rate the repair a 10 out of 10. I literally can't see any flaw in the repairs. That said, mine weren't quite as bad as the one pictured. I now have a spare rim sitting in a Ford Box, ready to rock just in case my wife "didn't see that" again.

Make sure the place you choose to repair the wheel uses powder coating and not simply a repaint. I have seen a repair that used gloss black paint and though it looked okay sitting by itself, it didn't match the ones on the vehicle.
