Wheel is Chipped/Gouged - will bodyshop repair hold up and look good?

    I had a set of brand new OEM wheels arrive; one wheel has what appears to be a chip/gouge caused by tire mounting.

    The stealership is having me look in to fixing it at a body shop. I'm sure they can repair it, but how well will the spot hold up and will it look 100%?

    I'm waiting for a reply; anyone want to chime in?

    Easily fixable and yes it will hold up if prepped properly

    That can easily be fixed to 100%. I usually use wheel repair services that, not body shops though. I guess if they do a color match on the silver it should match the other wheels. Why don't you contact the merchant that shipped you the new wheels? If they are reputable they should handle the problem... that is if you purchased them from a merchant.

    Fortunately, they have an extra. And they will be replacing it for me :).

    Thanks guys.
