badly scratched wheel on '04 - 5AT
The parking garage where I park my car damaged my front right wheel.
It's been scraped on the lip of the wheel really badly.
Anybody know offhand how much a new one might set me back?
Wonder if I have to go to my dealer or is there someplace else I can buy one? Bummer.

Don't replace...repair. There are some listings on ebay if you really want to replace the wheel. Otherwise, a refinishing should set you back about $75. I know someone on this site has had it done, hopefully they will speak up. You may want to search under wheel repair and see if anything comes up.

Check out:

I used this company before to fix two badly out of round Lexus rims, and they did great work. I understand they can also weld gouges, chips, cracks, etc. and refinish (within reason), and they also sometimes have replacment rims from dealers that use them. I saved a lot of money, so it might be worth looking into. I know I'll never call another dealer for rim prices before I check with WCC.
Good luck.
