What's a fair price for rim repair?

The rims on the CPO 08 TL I bought has some serious curb rash on three of them. I've been getting estimates to repair and repaint the rims. The most highly recommended place is around $130 per rim. Is that around the going price?

For $390 I could buy some used rims, but shipping to Hawaii kills that deal. I also don't have much experience trying to fix it myself. So a professional repair seems best.

WOW people are quoting too high....

OP, I would go the route LOVEMYTL-S said...try doing it yourself, even if you mess up, you can take it in and get em PC (Powder Coated)....places charge like 50-80 per rim and they come out looking like new
