Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

scratched my 18" sport designs wheel enhancement wants $300 each for exchange for new ones. They say they can't be repaired any ideas?

POST 2Original post

Depends on how deep and where the scratches are. Best bet: contact some highline dealers near you (Porsche, Mercedes, BMW) and ask the service manager who does their wheel touchup. Most places have one guy who travels between them to do this on site. I had my first 18" turbo look scrape sent to a body shop for repair - 3 days, about $80 (3 years ago). Second one was done at my office in less than an hour. Perfect both times. But much depends on the depth of the damage and the location on the wheel. Check around first. Just food for thought. <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/esklut/Erics996.html" TARGET=_blank> Eric's 996 Site</A>

POST 3Original post

eric, may i ask what state and if so which dealer. tia

POST 4Original post

I am in NC, however I was fortunate because the guy I used for the on-site work came independently. Now most dealers want you to bring the car in and leave it (less convenience). Email me if you need specific details or are in NC and I can give you a name/number. [email removed]

POST 5Original post

My local autobody shop has a company, I believe "Wheels America" that they send the wheel to and it is repaired in one day. I payed about $125 to have my 18" turbo twist repaired and rebalanced. If they can't repair it, they send it back at no charge.

POST 6Original post

It's definitely worth talking to a decent body shop. I'm always amazed at the way that they can get a wheel back to 'as new' for $150. Of course, if it's bent then that's another matter altogether. Graham

POST 7Original post

Dear Bloke: If you're looking for someone in the NYC area try Marmin Auto Collision on East 73rd street. I had some scrathes on one of the wheels of my '99 996 and they buffed it out and refinished for $75

POST 8Original post

New Country of Greenwich had an independent finisher fix my 18" turbo look wheel - about $180, I recall. The wheel came out fine.
