Discount Tire sent my wheel out last time and it came back with paint that didn't match so well. Any reputable independent shops in Jacksonville you guys can recommend? Thanks!

Discount Tire offered to send my wheel out as well after they scratched it putting on the valve stem. I decided not to go down that route, figuring it wouldn't match. For minor curb rash, I used the AW write-up on touching up the wheel. The paint I got wasn't a 100% match but you can't tell from 3ft away. Now if your wheel is actually bent or curbed badly, I don't think you have any choice but to send all FOUR wheels out to get refinished in a matching paint.

and even if its a shade or two off you wont be able to tell when the wheels are mounted.

which BBS does not give out. i had a wheel repair shop tell me that they cannot guarantee an exact match and in most cases, they have to paint all 4 wheels to get uniform color.

If it is less than a year you have a warranty with BBS. You can send you old bent rim into BBS and they will sell you a new rim for 1/2 the price.
