F80 wheel damage
Looking for advice on whether to repair or replace a front wheel i've damaged. Lost concentration leaving a car park today and kerbed the wheel. It's round almost 1/3 pf the wheel. i wouldn't say it was deep, just a bit of rash on the very outer edge but annoying all the same. I'm wondering if a repair can be done without doing the other 3. Can a decent repair place do a 100% match? Would i be better going to BMW to get it done?( I don't mind paying a little extra so longs as the jobs 100%) Or would i be better just stumping up for a new wheel and if so is there anyone on here selling a genuine unrefurbed front alloy? Its the black 437 wheels

I'd get it refurbed at a reputable place. A proper wheel repairer will do it well and get the colour right.
BMW dealers just farm them out to a local place, that may be decent, but also may not be that good, and sorting it yourself will be cheaper and you'll be in more control.
