Wheel repair???

Not happy When rotating the tires the dummy knocked the rim over, shinny side down, causing scratches on the high points of all 5 spokes. I need feedback from those who have used wheel repair places. How does/did the refinish hold up compared to the factory finish? I live in so cal so road salt will not be a problem. The scratches are small and if the car was 2-3 years older I would probably forget about getting them fixed. The tire dealer is going to pay for the repair, if I decide that's what I want. Wheel World will be doing the repair, has anyone used them before?

www.truwheel.com in north hollywood, or go to wheels america ( www.fixrim.com ) down in stanton. i have repaired bent lips at TW and they did a pretty good job.

are they deep or superficial scratches? i would be leary of taking the wheels into a rim repair shop if they only intended on doing a major repair! if they are light then i would probably leave them alone then to spend the $100+ (what these places usually charge) to repair it.
