M3 CSL Wheel Rash Repair

I am almost all the way toward getting my new (used) 2005 M3 up to Autopia and my spec.
Today I had the rash on the two rear wheels repaired by Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists here in Calgary . There is another long time company in the area but I wouldn't use them again.
The outfit is apparently franchised and the process patented. Each wheel took about one hour.
Here are the before shots:

(sorry ...no outside shot of that one)

And here are the after shots:

http://www.pbase.com/oshea/image/65710972

The two fronts are curbed to a lessor degree but as Andre's assitant said on a break "once you see the results you will get the others done"
He is probably quite right

Next is an exterior clay on Friday followed by careful polishing on Saturday.

They look great, you couldn't tell that the wheel rash was ever there. If you don't mind, how much does that cost per wheel?

Well......let's just say it depends on how you want to pay
I paid $150/wheel Cdn and it doesn't seem to matter how bad the rash is.
I think the overall labour is pretty much the same. Gotta take em off.....prep 'em....fix 'em....and put it back on.
